Description
Her secrets shaped a kingdom . Her loyalty was deadly.
Jane Boleyn watches from the shadows of the Tudor court. Where nothing is more powerful than a secret. And power rests on the edge of a tyrant king's sword.
She wears many masks - loving wife, devoted sister, and obedient spy. It's what a woman must do to survive.
The only weapon she has is her voice.
They say Jane's whispers sealed the fate of two queens. They called her a liar and a traitor.
But the truth is far more dangerous...
Philippa Gregory brings the Boleyn traitor out of the shadows in an explosive story of one woman's survival in the deadly dance of the Tudor Court.
