Sinopse

In this fifth volume of the Tudor series, Philippa Gregory tells the story of three young women trying to make their own way through Europe's most volatile court at a time of religious unrest and political uncertainty.

In 1539, the entire Tudor court was apprehensive. Henry VIII was ill and aging, with only one heir, the three-year-old Edward. The English sovereign needed a new consort. However, the three women who had frequented the royal bed suffered alongside the powerful monarch. Interested in strengthening relations with Germany—and, by extension, removing France and Spain from the political table—Henry VIII negotiated a new marriage with Anne of Cleves, whom he had only known through a painting by Hans Holbein.

Chosen to bear the English crown, the young consort senses that the court resembles a trap about to close in on her. Meanwhile, Catherine Howard, Anne of Cleves's lady-in-waiting, is aware that her beauty is noticed by all the men at court—and is willing to follow in her cousin Anne Boleyn's footsteps and take a seat at Henry VIII's side.

However, if any woman desires power at any cost, it's Jane Boleyn. Her past is bitter with betrayal and death. Widowed by Anne Boleyn's brother, she saw her husband and sister-in-law executed for treason. Now, she has a single goal in life: to manipulate the new queen's destiny and, from behind the scenes, become the most powerful woman in England.
