About this book

Philippa Gregory presents a historical novel set in the court of Henry VIII, centered on Jane Boleyn. The story follows Jane as she navigates the dangerous politics of the Tudor court, where she must adopt multiple roles: a devoted sister to Anne Boleyn, a wife concealing her true feelings, and a careful observer of court secrets. Survival in Henry's court requires Jane to use intelligence and strategic maneuvering to outmaneuver those around her. Secrets hold currency, and a single misstep can prove fatal. Gregory explores Jane Boleyn's untold story, presenting her as a complex woman determined to survive in a court ruled by ambition and an unstable ruler's power.
