Though he battled for years to marry her—a story told in Wolf Henry is now disenchanted with Anne Boleyn. She has failed to give him a son, and her sharp intelligence alienates his old friends and the noble families of England. At a word from Henry. Thomas Cromwell is ready to bring her down. Over a few terrifying weeks. Cromwell ensnares her in a web of conspiracy, while the demure Jane Seymour waits her turn for the poisoned wedding ring. But Anne and her powerful family will not yield without a ferocious struggle, and to defeat the Boleyns, Cromwell must now ally himself with his enemies. What price will he pay for Anne's head?
Hailed around the world as a stunning literary achievement. Bring Up the Bodies evokes this frightening episode of English history as no book has before.
