Her secrets shaped a kingdom_. Her loyalty was deadly. _
Jane Boleyn watches from the shadows of the Tudor court. Where nothing is more powerful than a secret. And power rests on the edge of a tyrant king's sword._
She wears many masks - loving wife, devoted sister, and obedient spy. It's what a woman must do to survive. _
The only weapon she has is her voice._
They say Jane's whispers sealed the fate of two queens. They called her a liar and a traitor. _
But the truth is far more dangerous... _
Philippa Gregory brings the Boleyn traitor out of the shadows in an explosive story of one woman's survival in the deadly dance of the Tudor Court.
