Special Paperback Launch Week Price The grisly deaths of Queen Anne Boleyn and her lovers have shocked and fascinated readers for 500 years. In this fresh, succinct and revisionist historical novel, Diana, Princess of Wales stumbles across her family links to the second wife of King Henry VIII, and we are transported back in time to the age of the Tudors. The beautiful and daring Anne Boleyn astonishes and inspires the Tudor court of King Henry VIII when she returns home to serve Queen Katherine of Aragon, after growing up in the court of France - known as the most licentious and extravagant in Europe. Plans to make an advantageous marriage flounder, and Anne falls in love with Lord Henry Percy. Their dreams to marry are thwarted by the King who desires Anne for himself. The choices Anne makes lead her down a perilous path to become Queen of England, but will she ever find love and sexual fulfillment? How will she give an increasingly impotent King the healthy son he so desperately needs? By turns bloody, cruel and romantic, The Sparkly Dark Road Of Anne Boleyn is an electrifying and absorbing story of one of history's most fascinating and complex women. King Henry VIII, Cardinal Wolsey, Thomas Cromwell, Lady Rochford, George and Mary Boleyn, Mark Smeaton, King Francois and Queen Claude of France and many others are all brought vividly to life in this colourful and engaging novel of Tudor history.
