Publisher's Summary
Six wives. One King. You know their stories. Now it's time to hear his.
The magnificent new Tudor novel from the author of the Sunday Times-bestselling Six Tudor Queens series.
A second son, not born to rule, becomes a man, and a king...
In grand royal palaces, Prince Harry grows up dreaming of knights and chivalry - and the golden age of kings that awaits his older brother. But Arthur's untimely death sees Harry crowned King Henry of England.
As his power and influence extends, so commences a lifelong battle between head and heart, love and duty. Henry rules by divine right, yet his prayers for a son go unanswered.
The great future of the Tudor dynasty depends on an heir. And the crown weighs heavy on a king with all but his one true desire.
HENRY VIII. HIS STORY.
Alison Weir's most ambitious Tudor novel yet reveals the captivating story of a man who was by turns brilliant, romantic, and ruthless: the king who changed England forever.

More of a history lesson!
Unlike Weir’s other historical stories this one for me lacked personality- I’ve read all Weirs books and whether correct or not usually the reader is gets a sense of personality of the main character. This was less of Henry the man/personality but a history lesson! I still enjoyed it

Weirs History
Reads more like a bodice tearing romance. Weirs greatest hero-HenryVIII - abuser of children and women, sly, cunning manipulative and not the least murderer would see him not only diagnosed with severe personality disorder but serving consecutive life sentences today. What Weirs hero did then was just as disgusting then as it is now. This book is not history. But strangely it doesn’t fall neatly into historical fiction either because Weir uses primary sources to weave her take on events which in turn are as inaccurate as they are fanciful.
