Details

If you cannot speak truth at a beheading, when can you speak it? England, 1536. Anne Boleyn's fate has been sealed by the executioner. Jane Seymour must deliver King Henry a healthy heir. And to the disgust of Henry's nobles, Thomas Cromwell continues his ruthless ascent from the gutters of Putney to the highest rank beside his master. But with the threat of invasion and the King's legacy tottering, Cromwell is vulnerable and his enemies are poised to strike. The further you climb, the harder you fall.
