The Winter's March (The Soulborn Sonata Series)

Book 2 of the Jepsward Sea Saga trilogy is here, and has Ryland and Kaito on their first major hunt!

Not long after receiving their licenses from an arduous test and a shaking clash against three apex beasts during the Turidian IHB exam, Ryland Legato and Kaito Otani of the newly formed Frontier Okami bounty hunting team have set off to the snowfallen country of Hjaalren to find their next marks. Two criminals, Boswick Beaumont and Lyle Petrov, had caused a great chaos during the exam and left the other hunters in peril: what they didn't count on was Ryland and Kaito picking up their trail and going after them for their first real significant bounties.

The Decade Seven each have gone their own paths to their respective hunts, as the Frontier Okami duo sets sail for Hjaalren. Along the way, the duo will encounter new things in the unforgiving winter country that will test their mettle to see what they are made of.

Ravenous wolf beasts. Mesmerizing winter mountains. A stretch of boundary that is continuously ensnared in brutal icestorms. A plot against a ruler. A gem from the heavens. A woman that has been stuck in betwixt time and nature, one that will change Ryland's course of life forever.

With so many of the odds stacked against Ryland, he's also not alone in his hunt. The crew of a familiar ship. Newfound allies in the natives. The heart of a village on their last stand. A powerful jarl, and his daughter.

To survive a harsh winter, it is best to lean upon friends one can trust. Join Ryland and Kaito as they endure much bigger challenge of a hunt than they initially expected and pit themselves against an unyielding land like none they had ever known before.
