Wilder Country
Mark Smith
Finn, Kas and Willow have survived the winter of storms. Severe winds and cold have kept the Wilders at bay. Now that spring has come, everything has changed. They’re being hunted again, and they won’t be safe while Ramage wants their blood.
But Finn and Kas made a promise to Rose—to find her baby and bring her back. And finding Hope means finding Ramage…
Wilder Country is the exciting, action-packed sequel to Mark Smith’s highly acclaimed The Road to Winter.
