Boleyn Inheritance, The
Overview
Pre-order BOLEYN TRAITOR now – Philippa Gregory's landmark return to the Tudor court, coming Autumn 2025 …
From the bestselling author of The Other Boleyn Girl, Philippa Gregory, comes a wonderfully atmospheric evocation of the court of Henry VIII and his final queens.
The Last Boleyn is Jane, Lady Rochford – widow of the disgraced George Boleyn. Caught in the intrigues of the Tudor court, she manoeuvres for personal position as her family in turn tries to manipulate her.
The king has married again; his bride is the deceptively astute Anne of Cleves. Her wits are tested as she senses a trap closing around her, with the Howards ready to take advantage of her fall. Central to their plot is the pretty, flirtatious Catherine, ready to take the place once held by her cousin Anne Boleyn.
Jane briefly believes that she will escape the fate of all who attempt to betray the royal trust but she reckons without Henry's growing maliciousness. Her fate is sealed; she will be the last Boleyn.
Philippa Gregory is the acknowledged queen of historical fiction and this novel again displays her trademark blend of passion and politics, authenticity and tremendously gripping storytelling.
As a Sunday Times bestselling book, The Boleyn Inheritance continues to top charts, showcasing Philippa Gregory's mastery in historical fiction. The intricate courtly politics and passionate narratives that have made her a bestseller are once again at the forefront in this riveting tale.
For fans of Elizabeth Chadwick (The Royal Rebel), Alison Weir (Elizabeth of York), Ken Follett (Circle of Days), Carol Mcgrath (The Lost Queen), and Anne R. Bailey (The Lady Ursula).
