About this ebook

A married couple are caught up in a plot to overthrow Henry VIII in this romantic adventure classic by the author of King Solomon’s Mines.

Cicely Foterell has loved her new husband, Sir Christopher Harflete, since childhood. But they live in an England in turmoil. It’s 1536, and King Henry VIII has rebelled against Pope Clement VII and the Catholic Church.

Consequently, many of the clergy are rebelling against the king in a revolt coined the Pilgrimage of Grace. To raise funds to fight against Henry, Spanish abbot Clement Maldon plots to kill Cicely’s father and steal the family’s jewels, along with Blossholme Abbey. Cicely is sent to a nunnery and later tried as a witch. Christopher is knocked out and shipped overseas. As they try to reunite, many more dangers arise, and it will take more than their undying love to ensure they ever find each other . . .

Praise for The Lady of Blossholme 

“What a detailed, densely written, fast-moving and action-packed story it is. . . ! The Lady of Blossholme is well worth a reader’s time. With memorable characters, a unique setting, a different kind of Haggardian villain, several interesting Haggardian sidekicks, and a healthy dose of red-blooded action, the novel is a real pleaser.” —Fantasy Literature

About the author

H. Rider Haggard (1856–1925) was an English adventure novelist. Haggard studied law, but rather than pursuing a legal career took a secretarial position in what is now South Africa. His time there provided the inspiration for some of his most popular novels, including She (1887), an early classic of the lost world fantasy genre and one of the bestselling books of all time.
