VIII: Destined for Greatness, Tormented by Demons

HOW DID A YOUNG TUDOR PRINCE BECOME A TYRANNICAL MURDERER? In the early 16th century, the graceful Prince Henry VIII, still a charismatic teenager, arrives at the Tower of London. It is there that he transforms into one of the most tyrannical figures in history. What could have driven the most handsome prince in Europe to transform into a murderous despot? The answers lie within the stone walls, where ancient crimes and ghosts seem to reinforce the boy Hal's belief: he is God's chosen one to lead the kingdom. Nothing can stand in his way. Yet, the closer he seems to his destiny, the more the young man will be tested. • HM Castor has published more than forty books. • “Brilliantly successful in portraying, from youth to old age, the troubled soul of Henry VIII” – Bookseller Pod
