The Furies — John Jakes

The glittering saga of our America -- and the people who made her great.

Spanning the young American continent . . . its burgeoning east coast cities . . . its warring frontiers . . . its lawless towns of the West . . . the continuing saga of the Kent family follows the dangerous bloodsoaked years of our Nation's mighty expansion and thrusts a brilliant new heroine into the foreground of its struggles. The victim of savagery, devastated by heartbreak and humiliation, young Amanda Kent is driven by one burning ambition -- to restore the house of Kent to its rightful honor. Thus she begins her most daring adventure . . .

Here are a brave new generation of Kents, moving across American history's colorful canvas from its wild west days to the birth of its gilded age, and -- poised unknowingly on the brink of their country's greatest turmoil -- building a glorious, but fated, dynasty.
