A Tyranny of Petticoats

“The heroines are tough and memorable and full of heart, and the concept is irresistible.” — Booklist (starred review)

They're making their own way in often-hostile lands, using every weapon in their arsenals, facing down murderers and marriage proposals, ghosts and goddesses. And they all have a story to tell.
