About this title

From the Back Cover:

GUILTY OF NOTHING, SHE WOULD PAY A HEAVY PRICE FOR HER BEAUTY...

A young noblewoman in the ruthless Tudor era, Katherine Howard's life was far from easy. Left to the mercy of her neglectful grandmother, twice betrothed by the age fifteen, she finds happiness at last with her beloved kinsman, Thomas Culpepper, but those around her have other plans for her future...

At Hampton Court, King Henry VIII has rejected his plain wife, Anne, and Katherine is blind to his true nature, powerful flirtation. Surrounded by enemies, her unhappy past closing in on her, innocence is to be Katherine's final downfall...

‘...Superb storytelling... meticulous attention to authenticity of detail and depth of characterisation...one of the country's most widely read novelists’
