Hell Hath No Fury… It all started the day the cyclone touched down in Hawk’s Hollow, just a few days before the annual rodeo and cross-country race. Unbeknownst to the four women caught in the twister, a dark destiny had befallen them. Willow gains the ability to create chaos, Penelope causes illness if she loses her temper, Felicity can drain a person to within an inch of their life, and Dynah can summon the dead. It’s hard enough for a woman to navigate society in the 1800s, let alone in a land of outlaws and cutthroats. Add in angels, demons, and enough raw magic to blow Colorado off the map, and you’ve got a recipe for the end of the world. Because a woman’s rage is just a fuse waiting to be lit, and once that day comes, the Apocalypse is nigh. *** Good Omens meets Westworld with a feminist twist. This fantasy Western by bestselling author A.A. Chamberlynn will also appeal to fans of Wynonna Earp. Chock-full of kickass women, cowboys, angels, and demons, this supernatural thriller and historical fantasy will take you on a wild ride. Saddle up! WANT MORE FOUR HORSEWOMEN?

Great, this is your series then. If you don't enjoy complex stories of women in patriarchal societies navigating different cross sections of identity, sex, and race...well, I'm afraid I can't help you there, and neither can Chamberlynn.” Dark and Silly Book Reviews “I loved this book! 5 full and shiny stars.” Archaeolibrarian “If you like: - atmospheric wild west settings - strong, complicated women as main characters - extremely cool plots Then you should read this book right away.” Amazon Reviewer “This is a fast paced, well written, page turning thrill ride with twists/turns that keeps you glued to the pages until the end. Looking forward to the next book to see what the author has in store for these characters. SO SO GOOD!!” Goodreads Reviewer “A.A. Chamberlynn’s narrative skills are awesome, the plot flows through the pages taking the reader into a wild ride that blends action, character description, mythology and social critique into a very interesting, extremely entertaining story.” Goodreads Reviewer “Wow! This was amazing.” Goodreads Reviewer “This is a fantastic beginning to this fantasy western series. I've always loved weird westerns, and this one is a great twist on traditional retellings of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse stories.” Goodreads Reviewer “So many books nowadays seem to have the same elements when creating an apocalyptic world. A.A. Chamberlynn has created something new, something interesting. She always writes strong female characters, but these ladies, well, I love the character development.” Amazon Reviewer Keywords: Four Horsewomen of the Apocalypse, feminist retellings, fantasy western, historical fantasy, horses, cowboys, angels and demons, western, romantic elements, strong heroine, paranormal ebook, contemporary fantasy ebook, top fantasy reads, top mythology reads, top ebooks in fantasy, top ebooks in mythology, contemporary fantasy, fantasy books

As the Russian army advances on war-torn Prussia at the end of World War II, Marike Wiens gathers her four young children and flees for Denmark, the only place willing to accept German refugees. Marike arrives in Danzig just as the Allied bombs begin to fall. She and her children pick their way through the rubble to reunite with Marike's gravely ill father and the rest of her family. Together, they board an overcrowded, disease-infested ship bound for Denmark. Arriving at the refugee camp, Marike's hopes for a safe haven are dashed when she discovers the Danes have been forced to create the camps under orders from the occupying German army. Danish hostility toward the mostly women and children who cross their borders is palpable. Behind the barbed wire, Marike and her family face near starvation, illness, mistreatment, and heart-rending conditions. Moved from camp to camp, Marike struggles to keep her family alive and to hold onto their Mennonite faith. Her only hope for survival lies with her husband, Horst, who is missing in action on the Eastern Front.
