THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER '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'
