Synopsis

A novel of the devout young woman who became the unwilling object of King Henry VIII's ardor-and the mother of his only son. In this third book in the epic Six Tudor Queens series, the acclaimed historian and bestselling author brings new insight to this dramatic story, showing how pure fear for her life determined Jane Seymour's actions. 25-year-old Jane Seymour wants nothing more than to become a nun. But her ambitious father has forced her to live at court as lady-in-waiting to Queen Katherine of Aragon, a fellow-Catholic whom she soon comes to love and admire. So Jane is appalled when King Henry shunts Katherine aside in his lustful pursuit of Anne Boleyn, but even more so when he takes Anne's life in his rush to wed-Jane herself! Unwilling to marry but terrified to resist Henry's advances for fear she might share Anne's fate, and propelled by her family, Jane becomes Queen of England a mere ten days after Anne's execution. She knows she must produce a male heir without fail. Her very life depends on it.

Goodreads review by Mariama on June 23, 2023

I am a huge Tudor history fan, particularly of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I, so this book immediately caught my eye. Carol-Ann Johnston immediately makes a statement that I somewhat disagree with: that of the six wives, Jane Seymour is the least documented wife, followed by Catherine Howard. I disagre......more

Goodreads review by Naomi's on September 30, 2023

I can happily say that I know more about Jane Seymour than I did before reading this book but found myself wanting more. It was about Jane surrounded by people who get a lot of press. I wanted an in-depth look at a queen that history has pushed to the side but it was a more ensemble cast than I expe......more

Goodreads review by Marie on July 09, 2023

I want to thank Pen & Sword and Netgalley for an uncorrected proof of this ebook in exchange for an honest review. I believe this is the first book I have read that focuses specifically on Queen Jane Seymour's life. I think that this might be due to the fact that she is not as well documented as som......more
