The Lady of Blossholme is a novel written by the famous English author H. Rider Haggard. The story is set in medieval England and revolves around a young noblewoman named Margaret de la Molle. After her father’s death, Margaret is forced to marry a cruel and abusive man, but she manages to escape and finds refuge in a convent. However, her peaceful life is disrupted when a group of outlaws attacks the convent, and she is taken captive by their leader, a handsome and charismatic man named Martin. Despite his criminal past, Margaret finds herself drawn to Martin and soon falls in love with him. However, their happiness is short-lived as their enemies close in, and they are forced to fight for their lives. The Lady of Blossholme is a thrilling tale of love, adventure, and betrayal, set against the backdrop of medieval England. Haggard’s vivid descriptions of the era and his well-drawn characters make this novel a must-read for fans of historical fiction.Christopher thought for a moment, then, remembering that with but four men and cumbered by two women it was not possible to cut his way through so great a force, and admonished by that sound of advancing hoofs, he gave a sudden order. They turned about, and not too soon, for as they did so, scarce two hundred yards away, the first of the Abbot’s horsemen appeared plunging towards them up the slope.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
