Six Tudor Queens

by Alison Weir

Part of Six Tudor Queens, book 0.1

First published 2016

In the blood-soaked halls of Tudor England, six women enter the royal marriage bed—and most will never leave alive. Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Catherine Howard, and Catherine Parr each face a monarch whose love transforms swiftly into lethal judgment. Their only weapons are wit, political cunning, and desperate survival instincts in a world where a queen's value is measured by her ability to produce a male heir. With Henry VIII's temper as unpredictable as plague and politics, these women navigate a razor's edge between royal favor and execution. Some will bear sons. Some will lose their heads. All will be defined by one man's mercurial desire.
