Hard to say if I like this Holdfast book best. First time I read it I certainly did. It is very intense and good. But of course you should start with book one, "Walk to the End of the World", which is also brilliant. (

In Book One of the Holdfast Chronicles, Aldera the Messenger, along with all other women, is a slave. In Book Two, Aldera the Runner lives in two worlds, both consisting entirely of women. Now in Book Three, The Furies, Aldera the Conquere leads an army back over the mountains, hoping to end the tyranny and free the slaves she left behind.
