They were the Boleyns, once one of England’s most powerful family. Anne Boleyn captured the hand of Henry VIII, and now we see the rise and fall of their family fortunes through the eyes of the eldest Boleyn daughter, Mary.
Mary Boleyn is overshadowed in history by her sister Anne, but it was she who first caught the eye of Henry VIII, setting the stage for her family’s dramatic rise to power—and ultimate fall from grace. Although Henry set her aside as his mistress, Mary still navigated the dangerous waters of the Tudor court, while forging ahead to find a life—and a love—apart from the intrigue that surrounded her.
In New York Times bestseller Karen Harper’s skillfully written and dramatically set novel, you will hear the story of this once mostly-forgotten Boleyn sister in a brilliant blend of history, romance, and drama.
