Haunted by the fates of his previous wives?two executions, two annulments, one death in childbirth?Katherine must wed Henry and rely on her wits and the help of her loyal servant Dot to survive the treacherous pitfalls of life as Henry?s queen. Yet as she treads the razor?s edge of court intrigue, she never quite gives up on love.
