HOW TO GROW ECHINACEA PURPUREA
Sow directly in the fall or indoors 8-10 weeks before last frost. Amend soil with limestone. Plant out directly or pot up once or twice enhances root development. Easiest propagation is by division. Clumps can be divided in spring or autumn. Pencil sized root cuttings will develop into when when started in late autumn or early winter, lay down lengthwise. Basal shoot cuttings may be rooted in the spring when treated with rooting hormone. Reduce weed competition to enhance root production for medicine. Read more about growing on our web site. If direct seeding, sow five times more seed than each plant needed in spring or autumn. If you want 10 plants you need 50 seeds. Controlling weeds is difficult with direct sowing because the plants are very small until well established and require hand weeding. Don’t fertilize until plants are established in mid-July to not stimulate weed growth. There are about 117,000 seeds per pound of Echinacea purpurea. You will need 30,000 to 40,000 plants per acre. Plants transplant well if watered-in with water transplanter or by hand. Once established, echinaceas thrive with little care, are drought tolerant and do not favor highly enriched soil. Good drainage is essential, will not tolerate wet soils. Per acre, 1,500 pounds of dry foliage the second and third year is a good crop and 1,200 pounds of roots is good at the end of the third year. About 1/2 pound of fresh root per dormant plant. Concentrate on growing strong Echinacea plants the first year. Harvest foliage “the herb’ the second and third growing season without hurting root production very much. Harvest and dehydrate root in the autumn of the third year. Harvest foliage like hay, cut, swath, sun dry and bale. For the highest quality herb cut and dehydrate it at 120˚F to 10 percent moisture content, then bale, put in burlap bag and sew shut. Roots maybe dug and harvested by hand, you may loose the bottom few inches. To harvest the most root, run a tractor pulled sub-soil knife with long bars behind it to raise the soil several inches and pop the roots up a bit, then dig with a modified field potato digger. Take to rotary washer, dry at 120˚F until less than 10 percent moisture. Put in burlap bag, weight and sew shut. If you hand dig a field, you may see 15-20 percent root grow-back the next spring. Soil pH 6.1-7.0. Hardiness zones 3-10. Perennial.

Call it a Masterpiece
It is such a pleasure to revisit The Road of Bones. To travel its road with a fresh perspective and fall in love all over again-- as if it's the first time. For it is a revelation.
The world-building that daunted me the first go around is now a warm embrace, it is an exhilarating charm. I readily hold onto its every detail, I listen up for every piece of information, collecting ravenously. I fall in deeper love with our heroine Silla and the enigmatic Bloodaxe crew.
This book should be considered a classic. I hope it is, I hope one day when people list modern classics, this gorgeous story (and its glorious sequel that is soon to be re-released under Delacorte Press!), will be firmly at the top of all mentions. That’s where I’d put them.
The Road of Bones opened my eyes to a brand new world, and I feel right at home.
A home led by whom has become one of my all-time favorite heroines, Silla. Oh dear Silla, how I adore you. My favorite part of her is her strength, but it’s not the type ever so commonly seen in fantasy. It’s not one of brawn and physical power, it’s one of brain, wit, and so much heart. I can’t express how much I NEED heroines like her. Soft, gentle, vulnerable, and oh so wholly relatable. I was glad she wasn’t a warrior, but that doesn’t mean she’s not a fighter. That doesn't mean her own unique strength isn’t as valuable as those who can wield a heavy blade or physically stand in the way of the villains. Her strength is her courage, her kindness, her wit, her will to live and never bring harm to others. She will buckle, she will fall, but she always tries her very best to get back up. And she feels so much, she wears her heart on her sleeve, and is vulnerable, is emotional, and is so utterly human.
I look at Silla’s journey in awe, I look at what’s ahead in wonder, and I look at that girl and think: she is magnificent. She defies the archetype of the common fantasy heroine and that makes her all the more unique and relatable.
Something this book achieves for me that no other book had until now, is make me love a multi-POV book! I was nervous, y’all! Could I handle more than single or dual POV? As it turns out: Heck yeah I can! In fact, I highly anticipated each POV presented as the narrative unfurled. But I played favorites, I can’t lie, I did, I did!
Silla, my girl, my number one. But her love interest— *the* love interest— slowly but surely creeps in the most tantalizing way. I don’t want to spoil this POV, but my story’s end, trust me, you’ll know. And he is such an incredible part in this story, his scenes at the end had my heart racing and I genuinely mean that literally. My heart was pounding in my ears, both times I read this. I think every time I reread the ending all my emotions will be pouring out like it’s the first time. I was just so immersed, my attention so deeply captured that it like connected into each of emotions in an explosion of fireworks. It’s so rare to find a book that pulls something so powerful out of you.
But The Road of Bones does just that.
Brava, Demi Winters, brava! To watch this journey from an indie published work to now a traditionally published book, allowing for greater audiences, has been absolutely magic.
If you love fantasy, romance, intelligent plots, excellent pacing, and a dynamic cast of characters you will come to know deeply and feel so many colliding emotions for— then pick The Road of Bones as soon as you can!
You won’t regret it— that is my promise to you! And just you wait, oh my goodness, just you wait for the new edition of Kingdom of Claw, to me— it’s the greatest sequel of all time, and I am so excited to read its new release. Let’s goooo!

“I belong to myself”
Format: Kindle
This was definitely a high fantasy with deep world building and layered mythology. As a mood reader, I should have known better than to go in blind (rookie mistake), so it took me a minute to find my footing. But once I did? I was fully invested.
I really liked the FMC and her perseverance. Her quiet sorrow spoke louder than any scream..a heartbreak she carried alone cus the world never paused long enough to notice.
And the love triangle yall?! Well done, well played. I can’t speak on it much but I will say I had my heart set from the beginning.
And in the last few chapters my adrenaline was thru the roof! Let’s see where book 2 takes us
“Because it takes a small man to be ruled by fear and a large one to show mercy. And anyone can see you are no small man.”

6 Star Immersive Read
Format: Audiobook
5 Stars (+1 with the audio for 6 stars) immersive read.
Synopsis:
After a brush with death and the loss of her father, Silla Nordvig has fled to the Road of Bones. A perilous journey north to safety and freedom. But the Road of Bones is a dangerous place filled with man, monster, and monsters who are men alike. After a second encounter that should have killed her, Silla decided to hide in a wagon bound North. A wagon owned by the notorious Bloodaxe Crew, a band of mercenaries on their own mission. Will she make it to Kopa in the North, to freedom and safety, or will she be hunted down by what travels the Road of Bones with her?
Review:
This is an INCREDIBLE read. The book is amazing and the audio made it legendary. All hail Islay Jacobs, a single narrator that put on a full cast performance!
A fantastic Viking based Romantasy set in a world where magic users, Geldra, are despised, warriors fight monsters for honor and coin, and few are truly safe. An epic adventure, sizzling romance, hidden secrets, corrupted power (with quotas), unparalleled world building, found family, and not enough books out yet!
There are so many good twists in this story, some caught me completely off guard which is impressive. I am normally quick with plot points and while I did pick up on several, a few had my jaw on the floor. Each character was richly crafted, the story driven by their strengths, needs, desires, fears, and flaws. I can see why so much of the world has been drawn to this story. I’m late to the party, but I can’t wait to continue in this world.

Road of Bones was just what I needed!!!
Format: Kindle
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 from me! The Road of Bones
Silla Nordvig is running for her life from the Queen’s assassin and the King’s Claws (The Klaernar) but she doesn’t know why. She and her father were attacked by warriors on the road to home where he was killed, he admitted he wasn’t her true father, but that’s about all he could say before he died in her arms. Now, Silla has joined the Bloodaxe Crew, trying to make her way north on the Road of Bones to safety.
The Road of Bones by Demi Winters is a Romantasy for those who absolutely love some romance with their fantasy. It’s Vikings and warriors at their finest. I felt the book was a little bit of a slow start, although there WAS action from the first chapter. But as soon as Silla realized she had to run for her life, the action was non stop. The plot was so well done, the story just built upon itself, and we learned more and more about Silla as her memories returned and her assassin got closer. As we discovered more about Silla, we learned more about the Bloodaxe Crew. Both Silla and the Bloodaxe Crew (each member) have such great back stories.
Silla is such a well fleshed out character. We see her as a simple kitchen maid who has little self-esteem, but longs for the freedom to be herself, and we grow with her into a woman that knows herself and is ready for just about anything. She goes through so much on her journey on the Road of Bones and we are there with her for every minute. We get to see her fall in love, and we see her when she goes through betrayal. The way she reacts internally shows just how much she grew throughout her journey.
The supporting characters, Jonas, Ilias, Hekla, and Rey were all extremely important to Silla’s story in his or her own way, and made the book all that much more rich and layered. Jonas seemed to have become enthralled with Silla, but things happen there that cause serious trauma. Hekla is a great friend to Silla and watching that relationship flourish was simply a joy, and Silla was able to come into her own as a warrior through Hekla’s tutelage (with Rey’s help). And, Rey, we can never forget about Rey…he was terrifying to Silla in the beginning, but somewhere he turns into a pillar of strength for her and I, for one, cannot wait to see what happens with that relationship.
In the end, I consider Road of Bones to be a work of art. If you are looking for a Viking Romantasy that is fun, a little dark, and absolutely heartbreaking, this should be your next read.

I'm done
Format: Kindle
I survived. I made it through the book!
This is a very slow book. Like... incredibly slow. I get that it's world building, but there also needs to be a sense that this world is worth caring about.
The good side is that the author has lovely writing. And the audio book reader is fantastic. But the story itself is paced incredibly slowly and without the depth needed to care about the characters or world. I fell asleep a few times with the beautiful reader and lovely words... telling a story I just wasn't interested in
The downside is that Silla is one of the most annoying main characters. She is weak and naive, with essentially no backstory. She's traveled all over with her father but apparently cooking and bread are her only skills. No worldliness. No experience with men or, well friends at all.
Yet on the flip side she's able to learn fighting skills in a few weeks and starts outright flirting quite detailed within a few days. So is she a naive weak maiden or a hidden temptress warrior? No idea. Not sure she knows either.
The other character backstories are also quite shallow. Like a few lines were written and that's all that needs to be said.
But...it is lovely writing.
I bought the 2nd book at the same time that I bought the first. I honestly have no desire to read the 2nd but curiosity has me wondering if it actually gets to storytelling.
