Summary

Anne Boleyn has been painted by history as a woman-hating vixen who weaseled her way into being Queen number two. But the real story is way more complicated. Anne started out as a pious lady-in-waiting who garnered the King’s attention. When Henry’s interest grows into a full-blown obsession, Anne decides she wants to be more than just another mistress. But first she’ll have to convince him to leave his first wife – which means changing the religion of an entire country. NBD.
