Despite being a thirty-year-old widow engaged in a secret affair, Kateryn is left with no choice when the aging King commands her to be his sixth wife. Knowing the fate of Henry's previous queens, who perished after very short reigns, Kateryn realizes the danger that lies ahead. However, as she grows to trust the King and creates unity within the royal family, her role as Regent becomes increasingly influential.
Kateryn is not just any queen, though. She is a forward-thinking leader in religious reform and the first woman to publish in English.
