As the Boleyns rise, Jane rises with them. But the king's love is a fickle thing. And when the royal gaze turns elsewhere, Jane uses the only weapon she has: her voice.

To survive in this dazzling, dangerous world she has mastered many masks: loving wife, devoted sister, and obedient spy. Now she must step out of the shadows.

She might outlive her rivals. She might know the court's darkest secrets. But power rests on the edge of a tyrant king's sword. Where will it fall next?

Philippa Gregory brings the Boleyn traitor into the light in an explosive story of one woman's survival in the treacherous heart of the Tudor court.
