'This six-book series looks likely to become a landmark in historical fiction' The Times

A GERMAN PRINCESS WITH A GUILTY SECRET.

The King is in love with a portrait, but the real Anna does not enchant him.

She must win him over. Everyone knows that Henry won't stand for a problem queen.

But rumours of Anna's past are rife at court - dangerous talk that could mark her downfall. Can this clever, spirited young woman reach out in friendship to the King, and gain his love forever?

ANNA OF KLEVE
THE FOURTH OF HENRY'S QUEENS
HER STORY

Acclaimed, bestselling historian Alison Weir draws on new evidence to conjure a startling image of Anna as you've never seen her before. A charming, spirited woman, she was loved by all who knew her - and even, ultimately, by the King who rejected her.

History tells us she was never crowned.
But her story does not end there.

SIX TUDOR QUEENS. SIX NOVELS. SIX YEARS.

'Alison Weir makes history come alive as no one else' Barbara Erskine

'Weir is excellent on the little details that bring a world to life' Guardian

Ratings and reviews

Never before have I read something about Anna Of Kleve and gone away wanting to know more. This whole series so far has just been fantastic. I'm so intrigued by the Tudor lifestyle. Big fan.

Very interesting. Always the wisest of Henry's wives. She kept her head and her own interests

very interesting to learn about a Queen we barely hear about
