From the #1 New York Times –bestselling author: Amanda Kent heads west to build a family dynasty in the era of the Gold Rush. 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 page-turner from "the godfather of historical novelists" ( Los Angeles Times). This ebook features an illustrated biography of John Jakes including rare images from the author's personal collection. Praise for The Kent Family Chronicles "The Kents' story remains memorable for many reasons, but it remains necessary because its protagonists understand that American ideals aren't simply what we profess to believe but how we choose to live and the price we are willing to pay for those choices." — New York Times The Kent Family Chronicles The Bastard (#1) The Rebels (#2) The Seekers (#3) The Furies (#4) The Titans (#5) The Warriors (#6) The Lawless (#7) The Americans (#8)
