Born to a noble family, Jane Seymour is sent to King Henry
VIII’s Court as Maid of Honor to Queen Catherine of Aragon.
There she works alongside Anne Boleyn and witnesses Anne’s
seduction of the king and her plot to supplant Queen
Catherine. The people of England suffer through many trials
and tribulations: the terribly contagious and deadly
sweating sickness, the ousting of their beloved Queen
Catherine, and a drastic shift of religious faith.
Throughout this, Jane becomes a trusted confidante to King
Henry, who often turns to her in his times of trouble. When Anne Boleyn is crowned Queen of England, no one is
safe from her wrath. Desperate to provide the king with the
son Queen Catherine never did, Anne will stop at nothing to
have her way—even if that means murder. Jane’s influence on
the king grows, and when Anne is unable to provide an heir
to the throne, King Henry asks her to do him the honor of
becoming his next queen. Suddenly Jane must decide what is
more important to her—her loyalty to her king or her
loyalty to her heart. In this beautifully written historical novel, Carolly
Erickson illuminates the world of the Tudor Court through
the unique eyes of Jane Seymour, the third wife of King
Henry VIII and the first wife who could fulfill his biggest
wish—a son.
