She rose as a favourite. Will she fall as a traitor?
In the dazzling, dangerous world of the Tudor Court, nothing is more powerful than a secret – or more deadly. Jane Boleyn has mastered many masks: loving wife, devoted sister, and obedient spy.
But as the King's rule advances into tyranny, Jane must decide: keep playing her part, or use the only power she really has – her voice. Philippa Gregory brings the Boleyn traitor into the light in an explosive story of one woman’s survival in the treacherous heart of the Tudor court.
