About this book

The Master of Appleby by Francis Lynde sweeps listeners into a stirring historical romance set amid the Great Struggle in the Two Carolinas, where love, duty, and danger collide. Lynde follows two gentlemen entangled by friendship and rivalry as they navigate battlefields, backcountry marches, secret missions, and a shared devotion to the same woman—an evocative tale of honor tested by war. Rooted in the American Revolutionary era, this historical fiction blends adventure, period detail, and romantic tension. Expect civilians and King's troopers, desperate marches and small‑town intrigues, dramatized encounters and moral reckonings rather than easy resolutions. Lynde’s lean, cinematic prose and brisk pacing keep the story moving, while themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and the costs of love resonate throughout. Ideal for fans of classic literature and historical romance, The Master of Appleby will appeal to listeners who enjoy character-driven war stories, love triangles set against real historical turmoil, and richly rendered Southern landscapes. Tune in for an absorbing, old‑school adventure that balances battlefield stakes with tender emotional conflicts.
