'This six-book series looks likely to become a landmark in
historical fiction' THE TIMES 'With characteristic verve and
stunning period detail, this novel will captivate you and break
your heart. Utterly sublime' TRACY BORMAN Alison Weir, historian
and author of the Sunday Times-bestselling Six Tudor Queens series,
relates one of the most tragic stories in English history: Katheryn
Howard, Henry VIII's fifth queen. 'Conveys the heart-rending pathos
of a young woman executed, whose only real crime was her naivete
and her desire to be loved... It is a profoundly moving story that
lingers long after the last page is turned' ELIZABETH FREMANTLE
'Alison's sensitively drawn novel will change everyone's
preconceptions' SUSAN RONALD ... A NAIVE YOUNG WOMAN AT THE MERCY
OF HER AMBITIOUS FAMILY. At just nineteen, Katheryn Howard is quick
to trust and fall in love. She comes to court. She sings, she
dances. She captures the heart of the King. But Henry knows nothing
of Katheryn's past - one that comes back increasingly to haunt her.
For those who share her secrets are waiting in the shadows,
whispering words of love... and blackmail. The fifth of Henry's
queens. Her story. Acclaimed, bestselling historian Alison Weir
draws on extensive research to recount the tale of a vivacious
young woman used by powerful men for their own gain. HISTORY TELLS
US SHE DIED TOO SOON. THIS MESMERISING NOVEL BRINGS HER TO LIFE.
PRAISE FOR THE SIX TUDOR QUEENS SERIES: 'Weir is excellent on the
little details that bring a world to life' Guardian 'Alison Weir
makes history come alive as no one else' Barbara Erskine 'Well
researched and engrossing' Good Housekeeping 'Utterly gripping and
endlessly surprising' Tracy Borman 'Hugely enjoyable . . . Alison
Weir knows her subject and has a knack for the telling and textural
detail' Daily Mail
