Roots of Darkness by Demi Winters is an epic romantasy novella set after Kingdom of Claw, following Hekla and what’s left of the Bloodaxe Crew as a deadly, poisonous mist creeps closer.

Hekla “Rib Smasher” arrives in the village of Istré with the Crew battered, missing three members, and still expected to finish the job. The mist threatening Istré is monstrous and sentient, and if it spreads, it could swallow far more than one village. Hekla is determined to stop it, no matter the odds.

What she doesn’t plan for is resistance from Istré’s stubborn chieftain, or the new temporary leader assigned to the Bloodaxe Crew. Eyvind Hakonsson is a mysterious warrior with his own rules and his own agenda, and after one reckless night, Hekla realises she’s shared far too much with the very man now standing in her way.

With danger tightening around Istré and Eyvind’s plans aligning with the chieftain’s, Hekla takes matters into her own hands. Because protecting the innocent comes first, even if it means breaking every rule and risking the one thing she can’t afford to lose.
