Description
In the glittering and perilous court of Henry VIII, a young woman rises from obscurity to become England’s queen, only to find that royal favor can be as dangerous as it is intoxicating. This richly researched historical novel follows Katheryn Howard’s ambition, romances, and struggle to navigate a world governed by power, reputation, and rigid expectations of women. Against the backdrop of Tudor politics and religious upheaval, it offers an intimate portrait of a controversial figure whose brief reign has long been overshadowed by scandal. Compelling and immersive, the story explores desire, vulnerability, and the high personal cost of life at the center of the Tudor court.
