Lady Kindle Edition

by LCW Allingham (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
5.0 out of 5 stars (13)

In the year 1464, while England recovers from the devastation of the War of the Roses, Baron Alexander FitzRoland is dying in his northern castle. His young wife, Rosalynde, recovering from the stillbirth of her first child, succumbs to despair like a dutiful lady should.

When the castle gates are threatened, only Alexander's reputation as a brutal fighter is enough to frighten off their opportunistic enemy. The proper thing for Lady Rosalynde to do is to pray and submit to devastation. Instead, she puts on her husband's armor and rides to the gate disguised as the baron.

From there, things only get more complicated. Between mastering the art of war, meeting with witches, struggling with self-doubt and maneuvering her complicated relationship with Alexander's lover, Robert, Lady Rosalynde balances on the razor thin line between duty and destiny.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Allingham's debut, a refreshing take on the warrior woman, delivers swift action, high stakes, lively prose, and a contemporary moral of becoming who you are..." - Misty Urban, Historical Novel Society

"Amid uncertainty, betrayal, and treason during the War of the Roses, Lady Rosalynde emerges as an avatar of power, courage, and fierce loyalty as she defends her home and her very life. Battling turmoil within her heart and enemies at the gate, she defines what it means to be fully woman in a world fully run by men. Mourn with her, rejoice with her, and celebrate her message: Home is where love is found."
- Ef Deal, Abyss & Apex Editor and Author of the Twins of Bellesfées series

"A captivating tale. This lady rides to her own rescue." - Bestselling Author of the Elizabeth of England Chronicles, G. Lawrence

Fantastic debut from an author on the rise
LCW Allingham is the rare kind of author who leaves her mark with pretty much everything she writes. I've read a lot of stories from this author, most of it in the horror genre. While there are elements of horror in LADY (as there are in just about every story ever told), this one is straight-up historical fiction. Histfic is not a genre I usually read, but it's an LCW Allingham book so I knew I wouldn't be disappointed. Anything but, in fact. Highlights: a strong-as-steel female protag, taut dialogue, and boatloads of well-drawn conflict. What I think I enjoyed most about the story, though, is the fact that it's a love story at its heart. And who doesn't love a timeless love story? Kudos to the author on a glorious debut.

    This is a historical period piece in which the reader is not bogged down in the period. Rather, we are given a perspective on just how tough and ruthless life could be in the 15th century.

    This book was enjoyable to read and I completed it twice as quickly as I usually finish books for that reason.

    The heroine is a well-rounded out character whose fortitude and open-mindedness would put to shame many of us in the 21st century. The supporting cast contains complex characters as well, to make a rich tale. Even the ending isn’t simple, which is enjoyable.

    I just finished reading Lady, by LCW Allingham. In this story, the author opens up the mind of Rosalynde, lady of Castle Casstone as she deals with a series of deadly crises.

    First of all, her husband and the love of her life, Baron Alexander FitzRoland is dying. Lady Rosalynde has to find ways to stay strong as he wastes away in front of her eyes.

    Second, she just delivered a stillborn child. Her body is still recovering from the trauma of childbirth as her mind tries to deal with the guilt of not providing an heir for her dying husband.

    Third, and most immediate, their enemies are at the gate, and there’s no one to defend the castle.

    Lady Rosalynde does what any good military officer would do. She improvises, adapts, and overcomes.

    As with all of Allingham’s works, Lady is beautifully written and wonderfully executed. The story is action packed, and the tension feels real. The author’s descriptions and imagery pull you into the unsettled year of 1464. A time when it isn’t safe to be either a woman or a soldier.

    Lady Rosalynde is both.

    Definitely 5 stars!

    There is a human element to LCW Allingham's writing that is unmatched. No matter what story I read of hers, it makes me cry. The writing always seems to grab onto this deep down emotion that, sometimes, I didn't know you was even there. If you enjoy reading about knights and lady's in the 14th century, about love lost and gained and about inner strength beyond measure, you're going to love this book.

    On her acknowledgments page, LCW says to "find your people." They are words to live by for the young Lady Roselynde. I was a captive audience from the first sentence (and you will be too): "My lips formed prayers, but they were poor tethers to hope as the pit seemed to open in my chest." Good luck putting the book down as the world in which Roselynde moves through and the cast of characters with whom she interacts are so convincing you'll feel like you've been physically transplanted to fifteenth century England. The concept of being true to who you are is beautifully exemplified and stays with you long after page 350. Enjoy!

    Lady is a brilliantly told historical fiction novel. Lady Rosalynde is alive during a time when men reigned supreme and women were not regarded as highly. She's in a marriage union suitable for her and Baron Alexander FitzRoland of Casstone. Not one borne of love but of respect, necessity, and friendship. Alexander's boyhood friend throws an uncomfortable monkey wrench in their blessed union but Lady Rosalynde calls for him when Alexander is taken ill shortly after the stillbirth of their child. When rumors start swirling through the realm, enemies begin appearing at the gate, circling the castle like packs of hungry wolves. Rosalynde does what she feels is necessary to protect her land and people.

    This novel is so much more than a historical fiction romance novel. Not all inside the covers are matches made in heaven, perfect relationships, and easy lifestyles. This story is brutal yet tender, normal in terms of the time period yet full of lovable misfits, emotional yet stoic. Lady Rosalynde is such a strong female lead character. She's resilient despite every hit she takes from the very first paragraph. She's strong even when she's healing both her mind and body, supporting her ill husband, and defending the barony from those with evil intent.

    Rosalynde's love for her husband, his lover, their attendants, and her people flows through the pages. Unconventional love in some circumstances, conventional love in others, but a lot of love threaded throughout the story. The author wrote three-dimensional and realistic characters. LCW Allingham's ability to infuse her novel with emotion that is felt by the reader gives Lady even more depth.

    There are so many passages that had me tearing up. So much loss, so much agony, but even more love and understanding. Lady Rosalynde's losses seem insurmountable, yet there are times through the book that I teared up not because of sadness, but because she had the support of those around her. When she's before the King and all he says to her is to stand up I couldn't help but get emotional. Her self-professed oddities are not seen as bad things by those with intelligence. Love abounds and in a more profound way than a classic romance.

    As the author states in the post on her website dated September 20, 2024, "Lady is a love story, not a romance.

    I was provided a copy of this book to read.
