Perfect for anyone fascinated by the Royal Wedding, Netflix's The
Crown, or Wolf Hall, this is a pitch-perfect reimagining of the
romance and tragedy of Henry VIII and his six wives, told from multiple
points of view by some of your favorite authors.
If you were one of King Henry VIII's six wives, who would you be? Would
you be Anne Boleyn, who literally lost her head? Would you be the
subject of rumor and scandal like Catherine Howard? Or would you get
away and survive like Anna of Cleves?
Meet them and Henry's other queens--each bound for divorce or death--in
this epic and thrilling novel that reads like fantasy but really
happened. Watch spellbound as each of these women attempts to survive
their unpredictable king as he grows more and more obsessed with
producing a male heir. And discover how the power-hungry court fanned
the flames of Henry's passions . . . and his most horrible impulses.
Whether you're a huge fan of all things Tudor or new to this
jaw-dropping saga, you won't be able to get the unique voices of Henry
and his wives--all brought to life by seven award-winning and
bestselling authors--out of your head.
This is an intimate look at the royals during one of the most
treacherous times in history. Who will you root for and who will you
love to hate?
