The Boleyn Inheritance

From “the queen of royal fiction” (USA TODAY) and the author of The Other Boleyn Girl comes this New York Times bestselling Tudor historical novel about Anne of Cleves, Katherine Howard, and Jane Rochford—three women navigating the dangerous court of King Henry VIII and the bloody legacy of the Boleyn family.

After the death of his third wife, Jane Seymour, King Henry VIII of England decides to take a new wife, but this time, not for love. The Boleyn Inheritance follows three women whose lives are forever changed because of the king’s decision, as they must balance precariously in an already shaky Tudor court.

Anne of Cleves is to be married to Henry to form a political alliance, though the rocky relationship she has with the king does not bode well for her or for England.

Katherine Howard is the young, beautiful woman who captures Henry’s eye, even though he is set to marry Anne. Her spirit runs free and her passions run hot—though her affections may not be returned by the king.

Jane Rochford was married to George Boleyn, and it was her testimony that sent her husband and infamous sister-in-law Anne to their deaths. Throughout the country, her name is known for malice, jealousy, and twisted lust.

The Boleyn Inheritance is a novel drawn tight as a lute string about three women whose positions brought them wealth, admiration, and power, as well as deceit, betrayal, and terror.
