The Kents' saga expands as its first heroine takes center stage in the
relentless struggle to build the family dynasty opening twenty-two years
after the events of The Seekers, John Jakes's fourth Kent Family novel
spans the blood-soaked era of America's relentless expansion into the
West. Amanda Kent, daughter of Gilbert Kent and Harriet Lebow, is one of
the few women to escape the massacre at the Battle of the Alamo.
Uncommonly brazen and focused, Amanda seeks to make a new life for
herself by restoring the Kent family name. Her efforts to build a
dynasty take her to northern California, just in time for the Gold Rush.
Her passion and determination during these frenzied years make The
Furies an exhilarating listen.
