Rating: 5 (1 reviews)

In the Tudor era, Anne Boleyn hopes to advance her family’s status through wit and romance. She captivates the nobleman Henry Percy, future Earl of Northumberland, and accepts a secret betrothal that excites her father. Yet Cardinal Wolsey, who wields significant influence, opposes the alliance, fearing it could jeopardise his power. Exile to the north forces Henry to agree to an arranged marriage of duty, while Anne’s fortunes shift when she captures King Henry's attention. Determined not to be merely a mistress, Anne sets her sights on the throne. Yet the formidable power she gains attracts perilous enemies, and her actions—and concealed secrets—may ultimately undo her.
