The Lady in the Tower

Anne Boleyn was not beautiful, but she was irresistible, capturing the hearts of kings and commoners alike. The daughter of an ambitious country lord, Anne was sent to the dazzling court of Henry VIII to marry well and raise the family's fortunes. She soon surpassed even their greatest expectations: the king swore he would put his queen aside and make Anne his wife. But Anne was soon caught in the trap of her own ambition, surrounded by political rivals at court and at the mercy of Henry's fatal insecurity and volatile temper.
