Alison Weir

Alison Weir recounts one of the most sensational episodes in English history, revealing a courageous, determined woman on a headlong course to tragedy.

Be prepared for your perceptions to be challenged.

An extraordinary young woman, born into an ambitious family. Destined to be the focus of scandal and calumny.

Fresh from the cultivated hothouse of Renaissance France, Anne Boleyn draws attention at the English court. A nobleman, a poet and a king vie for her love.

She has a spirit worthy of a crown – and a crown is what she seeks. It is a more powerful aphrodisiac than love.

And so she embarks on her perilous course, which will plunge a kingdom into turmoil. Blood will flow on her account.

Her only protection is the King’s great love.
Anne Boleyn. The second of Henry VIII’s queens. Her story.
