The Taming of the Queen (The Plantagenet and Tudor Novels)

By the #1 New York Times bestselling author, a novel of passion and power at the court of a medieval killer, a riveting new Tudor tale featuring King Henry VIIIâ‚¬s sixth wife Kateryn Parr.

Kateryn Parr, a thirty-year-old widow in a secret affair with a new lover, has no choice when a man old enough to be her father who has buried four wivesâ‚¬"King Henry VIIIâ‚¬"commands her to marry him.

Kateryn has no doubt about the danger she faces: the previous queen lasted sixteen months, the one before barely half a year. But Henry adores his new bride and Katerynâ‚¬s trust in him grows as she unites the royal family, creates a radical study circle at the heart of the court, and rules the kingdom as Regent.

But is this enough to keep her safe? A leader of religious reform and the first woman to publish in English, Kateryn stands out as an independent woman with a mind of her own. But she cannot save the Protestants, under threat for their faith, and Henryâ‚¬s dangerous gaze turns on her. The traditional churchmen and rivals for power accuse her of heresyâ‚¬"the punishment is death by fire and the kingâ‚¬s name is on the warrant...

From the bestselling author who has illuminated all of Henryâ‚¬s queens comes a deeply intimate portrayal of the last: a woman who longed for passion, power, and education at the court of a medieval killer.
