Two sisters competing for the greatest prize: the love of a king
When Mary Boleyn comes to court as an innocent girl of fourteen,
she catches the eye of Henry VIII. Dazzled by the king, Mary falls
in love with both her golden prince and her growing role as
unofficial queen. However, she soon realizes just how much she is a
pawn in her family's ambitious plots as the king's interest begins
to wane and she is forced to step aside for her best friend and
rival: her sister, Anne. Then Mary knows that she must defy her
family and her king, and take her fate into her own hands.
What a captivating book...full of detail, deceit, love, lust,
adultry, and thirst for power. The blending of fact and fiction in
is seamless. The plots and counter-plots were highly entertaining,
teeming with inferior characters who bet everything on the whims of
a juvenile King. The adventure is magnificent. I would recommend
this book to everyone, it will capture you in countless
ways....READ THIS BOOK!
