Description

"In this thrilling novel of friendship and betrayal at the royal court, the New York Times bestselling author of the Six Tudor Queens series explores the rise of Thomas Wolsey, who was Henry VIII's chief advisor-until the king accused him of treason"--
Alison Weir's novel traces the dramatic rise and fall of Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, trusted advisor to Henry VIII. From humble beginnings to becoming the most powerful man in England after the king, Wolsey's fortunes shift when he fails to secure Henry's divorce from Katherine of Aragon. Caught between royal favor and Anne Boleyn's wrath, Wolsey's downfall is both political and deeply personal in this poignant portrait of ambition, loyalty, and betrayal in the Tudor court.
