ANNE BOLYEN'S FAMILY, FATE AND HISTORY ARE ALL CONTAINED WITHIN THE WALLS OF HEVER CASTLE.
BUT WHO WAS PLOTTING HER DOWNFALL?
As Henry VIII relentlessly pursues Thomas Boleyn's daughter Anne to be his queen, her home at Hever Castle becomes her escape, a place where her trusted attendants and her father must advise, protect and support her. In the beginning, lavish gifts are sent by the King and the Boleyn family is given ever greater prominence at court, their glory shining over everything and everyone.
Until ambition turns the family on itself, enemies outside the castle circle closer and danger begins to stalk the corridors of Hever. And as Henry's gaze moves elsewhere when Anne cannot give him the heir he so desperately seeks, the family faces a terrible, bloody fate.
But as long as Hever still stands, hope still exists.
Combining drama, danger and passion, Tracy Borman brings the Boleyn family's three-decade rise and precipitous fall to vivid life using their world at Hever, family and servants alike, as never written before.
