'This six-book series looks likely to become a landmark in
historical fiction' The Times 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. 'With characteristic verve and stunning
period detail, this novel will captivate you and break your heart.
Utterly sublime' TRACY BORMAN '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 FREEMANTLE
'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. Henry declares she is
his rose without a thorn. But Katheryn has a past of which he knows
nothing. It comes back increasingly to haunt her. For those who
share her secrets are waiting in the shadows, whispering words of
love... and blackmail. KATHERYN HOWARD THE FIFTH OF HENRY'S QUEENS.
HER STORY. Acclaimed, bestselling historian Alison Weir draws on
extensive research to recount one of the most tragic tales in
English history - that of a lively, sweet but neglected girl, 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'
