She Survived Her Own Innocence, and the Treachery of
Europe’s Royal Courts
Greed, lust for power, sex,
lies, secret marriages, religious posturing, adultery,
beheadings, international intrigue, jealousy, treachery,
love, loyalty, and betrayal. The Last Boleyn tells
the story of the rise and fall of the Boleyns, one of
England’s most powerful families, through the eyes of the
eldest daughter, Mary.
Although her sister, Anne, the
queen; her brother, George, executed alongside Anne; and her
father, Thomas, are most remembered by history, Mary was the
Boleyn who set into motion the chain of events that brought
about the family’s meteoric rise to power, as well as the
one who managed to escape their equally remarkable fall.
Sent away to France at an extraordinarily young age, Mary is
quickly plunged into the dangerous world of court politics,
where everything is beautiful but deceptive, and everyone
she meets is watching and quietly manipulating the events
and people around them. As she grows into a woman, Mary must
navigate both the dangerous waters ruled by two kings and
the powerful will of her own family in order to find a place
for herself and the love she so deeply desires.
