Abraham Kent leaves Boston to find his destiny on America’s frontier in this saga by the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of North and South.


Continuing the saga of the Kent family, John Jakes turns his masterful eye to the settlement of the untamed American West.

Furthering his reign as the living master of American historical fiction, Jakes unfurls the epic of The Seekers.
