Spring of 1540. Henry VIII tries to get rid of his unattractive German wife Anna of Cleves. The prematurely aged king looks favorably on the pretty nineteen-year-old lady-in-waiting Catherine Howard, Anne Boleyn's cousin. Cheerful and cheerful, Catherine readily accepts the courtship of the king, to which she is strongly encouraged by an ambitious family.
The king in love annuls the marriage with his shameful wife and after two weeks he marries Catherine, whom he tenderly calls a rose without thorns. Catherine bravely endures the night embrace of the sick king in the hope of giving birth to a son to strengthen his position. Unfortunately, the shadow of past mistakes not only darkens the carefree life of the young queen, but also puts her in mortal danger. The tragic fate of this girl deceived in her expectations is one of the saddest pages of English history.
“The wicked queen. The novel about Catherine Howard is the fifth book in the dramatic series about the six wives of Henry VIII, written by popular author and renowned historian Alison Ware.
