8 Books About Lady Knights Worth Fighting For

Simran is a witch of the woods, while Vina serves as a knight in the Queen's court. These two women are drawn together—can't help falling in love with one another—but it is this very pull that will be their downfall.

They have been fated to fall for each other across hundreds of lifetimes, and their romance is always the cause of their doom. Now they are desperate to resist their desires, and even more desperate to find a way to break the cycle.

As they search for a way to change the tides of fate, a mysterious assassin sets out to destroy stories such as theirs. In order to survive, the lovers must weave a story even stronger than the one the hand of fate has penned.

Kier is a mage. Grey Flynn is the knight that has dedicated her life to him. She's not only the blade that protects him, but his healer and a well of power for him to draw from.

Both blood and magic tie this pair together, but that is one truth that Grey keeps secret even from Kier.

While on a quest to protect a child of an enemy kingdom, Grey and Kier get pulled into a very dangerous mission. Now Grey must determine how much she's willing to sacrifice in order to keep her secret.

After all,  she's no typical magical well. If Grey dies, all magic dies with her.

The motto of the Lady Knights is, “Strike fast, love hard, live forever.” These fierce women have dedicated themselves to a struggling kingdom, swearing to protect Banna Mora, the prospective heir.

When the throne is taken over by a rebellion, however, Mora must decide between sacrificing everything she loves whilst letting a king-killer reap the rewards and taking up arms against the new heir, her childhood best friend and head of the Lady Knights, Hal Bolingbrooke.

Hal hates being a prince. She far prefers the Throne of Misrule, a position of honor in a wild underground nether-court ruled by passion. While she wants to meet the expectations of those she loves most, that would mean giving up what she most holds dear.

Standing between these two formidable Princes is Lady Hotspur, the bold knight who will decide their fates by lending her support and turning the tides of a brewing war.

Tortall has just instated a new rule that allows women to train for knighthood. Keladry of Mindelan is the first brave girl to take advantage of this new shift in policy.

Kel has spent years in the Yamani Islands where women are incredible warriors. Now that she's back home, she wants to forge a similar path, and believes she has what it takes to face the hazing and brutal schedule of a page. But beyond the regular trials and obstacles, Lord Wyldon stands in her way.

Wyldon is a training master adamantly against girls becoming knights. He tells Kel that she must complete a one-year trial that no male page has ever had to go through. While it's just one more thing differentiating Kel and her fellow trainees, she refuses to be underestimated.

No matter how unfair the test is, she will fight until she succeeds.

Sir Una Everlasting was the greatest hero Dominion had ever seen. She began life as an orphaned girl, but rose to prominence as a knight who died for both queen and country. Her magnificent tale was carried on by songs and stories, but the reality at the heart of her story has long since been forgotten.

Hundreds of years later, failed soldier and troubled scholar Owen Mallory is enchanted with Una's tale. This story draws him to war, to the archives, and then into the past itself. Time tangles around Una and Owen as the two of them are destined to tell the same story time and time again.

A story that always ends the same way—unless they can figure out a way to rewrite history.

Domhnall and Clía are meant to be—at least that's what everyone seems to think. As heirs to neighboring kingdoms, it seems they are an alliance fated by the gods. That is, until Domhnall wrecks everything by refusing to propose.

Trying to hold everything together, Clía trails after Domhnall to the acclaimed military academy Caisleán Cósta. While the castle is notorious for being brutal, she figures dueling can't actually be all that hard.

Warrior Ronan has sacrificed everything for his place at Caisleán Cósta, and has sworn never to lose focus, even for cute blonde princesses. He doesn't mean to be charmed by Clía, but her determination to prove herself is painfully familar. He figures it can't hurt to train her, even if it makes his heart flutter…and his best friend is Domhnall.

Not too far off, a very real war is brewing, and it's going to put them all to the test in this absolutely delightful book which reads like Legally Blonde meets A Knight's Tale.

For the last nine years, Sybil Delling has wished to have no dreams at all. She, like the other foundling girls who exchanged a decade of service for a home, is a Diviner. As she sleeps, the six ethereal figures known as the Omens give her visions. These dreams help her predict terrible events before they take place, and they draw both lords and commoners from all over the kingdom .

As Sybil and her sisters' service draws to an end, the cathedral is visited by a mysterious knight. On top of being ill-mannered, heretical, and impossibly handsome, Rodrick holds no respect for Sybil's visions. But as the Diviners begin to disappear one by one, he is Sybil's only hope in finding them.

Outside the cloister, the world is overcome with peril. The answers Sybil needs lie only with the gods—and only a heretic can defeat them.

Gideon has been raised up by cold, unfeeling nuns, ancient retainers, and innumerable skeletons. As such, she's more than ready to leave behind a life of servitude and an afterlife as a reanimated corpse. Armed with her sword and a collection of dirty magazines, she plots a brave escape. But her old nemesis won't let her go so easy.

Reverend Daughter of the Ninth House and bone witch Harrowhark Nonagesimus has been called into action. The Emperor has asked the heirs of each House to compete in a deadly trial of brains and skill. Should Harrowhark succeed, she will become an immortal servant of the Resurrection.

Of course, no necromancer can ascend without a cavalier. Harrow and the Ninth House will fall without Gideon's sword. But some things are better off dead.
