Boleyn Traitor

She rose as a favourite. Will she fall as a traitor?

A thrilling story of ambition, power and the dark side of the Tudor court from the Sunday Times bestselling author

In the dazzling, dangerous world of the Tudor Court, nothing is more powerful than a secret - or more deadly.

Jane Boleyn has mastered many masks: loving wife, devoted sister, and obedient spy.

But as the King's rule advances into tyranny, Jane must decide: keep playing her part, or use the only power she really has - her voice.

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.
