England, May 1536. Anne Boleyn is dead, and as her remains are bundled into oblivion, Thomas Cromwell breakfasts with the victors, while his formidable master, Henry VIII, settles to short-lived happiness with his third queen, Jane Seymour. Cromwell is a man with only his wits to rely on; so what will you do when the king turns on you, as sooner or later he turns on everyone close to him? Book 3 of the Wolf Hall Trilogy.
