In the bloody court of the Tudor dynasty, crown and love are always a pair of curses that cannot coexist.
Henry VIII, the English king known as the "Divorce Maniac" by later generations, married six times in his life just to find a legal male heir. From the piety and forbearance of the Spanish Princess Catherine, to the ambition and fall of Anne Boleyn, to the short-lived glory of Jane Seymour... Every queen was once the love in his eyes, but they were all involuntarily in the whirlpool of power, and were either deposed, killed, or died young.
This book will take you into the world of women who have been gently turned over by the pages of history. They are not only the wives of kings and mothers of princes, but also political players with their own desires and strategies. In this male-dominated dynasty, they used their wisdom, beauty, and even blood to place their pieces on the chessboard of history.
When love becomes a sacrifice of politics, when faith is crushed by royal power, who can have the last laugh in this cruel game? And what kind of sighs did those sacrificed queens leave in the dust of history?
