Why read it?
1 author picked The Ladies of Mandrigyn as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Barbara Hambly brings us rousing adventures that unexpectedly go into dark places. I love how she sets up the premise of hapless females begging for help, and then shows us they aren't so helpless after all.
The viewpoint character is a mercenary captain, coerced by poison into training a band of misfit females who are determined to save their families from an evil wizard.

It's great fun to watch the partnership grow out of an adversarial relationship between the scrappy women and the mercenary who finds himself suddenly vulnerable.
From Deby's list on 20th century fantasy centering on powerful women.
