'Gets under the skin of the man who is so often dismissed as a
much-married monster and gives us an altogether more nuanced,
compelling and human portrayal' TRACY BORMAN Six wives. One King.
You know their stories. Now it's time to hear his. The magnificent
new Tudor novel from the author of the Sunday Times-bestselling Six
Tudor Queens series. --- A second son, not born to rule, becomes a
man, and a king... In grand royal palaces, Prince Harry grows up
dreaming of knights and chivalry - and the golden age of kings that
awaits his older brother. But Arthur's untimely death sees Harry
crowned King Henry of England. As his power and influence extends,
so commences a lifelong battle between head and heart, love and
duty. Henry rules by divine right, yet his prayers for a son go
unanswered. The great future of the Tudor dynasty depends on an
heir. And the crown weighs heavy on a king with all but his one
true desire. HENRY VIII. HIS STORY. Alison Weir's most ambitious
Tudor novel yet reveals the captivating story of a man who was by
turns brilliant, romantic, and ruthless: the king who changed
England forever. --- PRAISE FOR ALISON WEIR'S TUDOR FICTION 'As
always, Alison Weir is ahead of the curve - and at the top of her
game. Her wide knowledge and unparalleled understanding of the
Tudor era fuels a sympathetic, but never sycophantic, portrait of
England's most compelling king' Sarah Gristwood 'History has the
best stories and they should all be told like this' Conn Iggulden
'This is royal Tudor life both in broad scope and intimate detail
and readers are in for a sumptuous journey' Elizabeth Chadwick
'With Elizabeth of York, Alison Weir gives us her most compelling
heroine yet... This is where the story of the Tudors begins and is
historical fiction at its absolute best' Tracy Borman 'This series
is a serious achievement' The Times 'Weir is excellent on the
little details that bring a world to life' Guardian 'Profoundly
moving... lingers long after the last page' Elizabeth Fremantle
'Well researched and engrossing' Good Housekeeping 'Vivid
characters and a wonderful sense of time and place' Barbara Erskine
'Hugely enjoyable . . . Alison Weir knows her subject and has a
knack for the telling and textural detail' Daily Mail
