Witness the rise of Catherine Howard—a young girl who goes from being a pawn to a queen in the lavish world of King Henry VIII’s Tudor court—in this thrilling historical fiction novel. When fifteen-year-old Catherine Howard’s youth, beauty, and noble birth are enough to make her the envy of every woman in Tudor England . . . and now she has caught the eye of the king. But life in the court of King Henry VIII is a complex game. Catherine finds herself quickly transformed from a carefree teenager with dreams of romance and riches to queen of England. Even luxury beyond imagination loses its luster as young Catherine finds her life—and her heart—threatened by the needs of an aging king and a family hungry for power. Catherine begins to fear that their agendas will make her a sacrifice on the alter of family ambition, delivering the young queen to the same fate as her infamous cousin, Anne Boleyn.
