Product Description

A king torn between two women could lead to a kingdom torn.

Troubled by religious unrest in his kingdom and changing alliances with other countries, weighing most on King Henry VIII of England's mind is his impending divorce to Queen Katherine of Aragon. The matter is of extreme urgency, as the king desires an heir and has just met the woman who holds his destiny -- Lady Anne Boleyn, eighteen and in the flower of youthful beauty. But was their meeting by chance, or part of a plan devised by her father for the furthering of his family?

As the new romance blooms, it causes heartache for the queen and headaches for the king's personal chaplain, Cardinal Wolsey, who once worked on behalf of the kingdom to organize diplomatic talks, but now toils to obtain the Church's approval for the king's divorce. As loyalties are questioned and the Church's influence is threatened by the emboldened king, the fate of the kingdom lies in the balance.

An irresistible story of love, lust, ambition, and political intrigue, this novelization of season one of The Tudors introduces us to a young, virile king of one of the most powerful nations in the world, and the women who will cause him to forever alter the course of history.

Review
Highly readable and very entertaining. This novelization hits the show's scandalous entanglements, teases out its conspiracies, and does justice to its violent beauty.

Great series tie In
I read this book in less than a week it wasa great refresher of season one. I can not wait for season 2 to start and the second book!

Tudors Book
This is a book version of the scrips from the first season of The Tudors. It seemed like a bit of a waste to me since I already read the script version to write it a bit differently. I was hoping it would be a bit different, but it was also a good reminder of what happened the first season.

Fantastic!
A fan of the series, this novelization recaptured and fleshed out what I'd enjoyed so much on the screen. A must-have for any fan of The Tudors show, or anyone who has a love and fascination for this time in history! It is very well written, with a genuine depth and emotion so important in making the story and the characters come alive. I anxiously await the second series and the accompanying novelization!
