Sinopsis:
María Bolena tiene apenas catorce años cuando inicia un romance adúltero con el rey Enrique VIII. Esta relación durará varios años y fruto de ella nacerán dos hijos. Sin embargo, las cosas cambian cuando su astuta y perversa hermana Ana pasa a ser confidente y consejera del rey. Poco a poco también logrará convertirse en su amante y tramará un plan para deshacerse de la reina Catalina de Aragón.
En esta fascinante novela ganadora del premio Parker, la novelista inglesa Philippa Gregory reconstruye un episodio poco a poco conocido de la vida Ana Bolena: la feroz rivalidad que hubo entre ella y su hermana por conquistar el corazón del rey Enrique VIII. Con gran rigor histórico, la autora nos transporta a los elegantes escenarios dieciochescos y nos sumerge en las pasiones de unos personajes perdidos entre sus sentimientos más íntimos y su ineludible papel social.
