Summary from Goodreads:
Silla Nordvig survived the Road of Bones.
In the aftermath of her journey, her dreams of a simple life have been shattered. Beaten, betrayed, and reeling from the revelation of her true name, she flees Kopa with Reynir Galtung, ruthless leader of the Bloodaxe Crew. But Silla soon discovers Rey has been keeping secrets of his own, and they're forced into hiding together.
Stuck in a shield-home with the murderous man she thought she knew, Silla forms a new plan: master the magic flowing through her veins to save her sister. But before she can do that, Silla must face her most formidable opponent yet--her own inner demons.
Saga Volsik has nothing to lose.
They’ve murdered her family. Stolen her throne. And now they expect her to marry their son. But when she discovers her foster mother has been keeping the biggest secret of all, everything changes.
Saga’s goal: dismantle Queen Signe’s plans piece by piece. The only problem? The handsome Zagadkian dignitary who knows far too many of her secrets.
Meanwhile, dark threads continue to weave themselves through Íseldur as magic long thought dead begins to wake. In this follow-up to The Road of Bones, both women will need to find the strength to step into their destiny and stop chaos from sweeping across the land.
Return to the Kingdom of Íseldur where enemies become lovers and dark secrets hide around each corner. This installment digs deeper into Íseldur’s forbidden magic and the simmering attraction growing between two unlikely couples.
Review:
Kingdom of Claw by Demi Winters is an enthralling continuation of The Road of Bones, delivering an intense blend of high-stakes action, forbidden magic, and complex relationships. Silla and Saga's parallel journeys are richly developed, with each woman grappling with inner demons and external threats that keep the tension high. The story excels in its exploration of power, betrayal, and unlikely alliances, weaving a dark yet captivating tapestry of secrets and simmering romance. While the intricate plot and dual perspectives occasionally make it challenging to follow every thread, the richly imagined world and emotional depth more than compensate. Fans of epic fantasy will find this sequel a satisfying and immersive experience.
Received an advance reader copy in exchange for a fair review.
