NO KING CAN RULE THEM. Six queens are all that stand between the kingdom of Elben and ruin. Or so we have been told. As each queen vies for attention, clever, ambitious Boleyn is determined to be her beloved Henry's favourite. She plays the courtly games and relishes the political rivalries. And if she must incite a war to win Henry over? So be it. Seymour is Boleyn's opposite. Sent to court by another queen to act as reluctant spy and assassin, she catches Henry's eye and is forced into a loveless marriage with the king. But when the two queens become the unlikeliest of things - friends and allies - the balance of power begins to shift and together they will discover an ancient, rotting secret at Elben's heart. One that their king will do anything to protect. A compelling epic fantasy filled with dragons, court politics and sapphic yearning, perfect for fans of The Priory of the Orange Tree and House of the Dragon. This is the Tudor Queens as you have never seen them before.
