Summary

Jane Seymour was a seemingly unremarkable woman destined to live on the fringes of other people's great lives – until she catches the eye of the king. Now that she has a better future in sight, Jane will use everything she’s learned at court to ensure that she becomes Henry’s third queen. But marrying Henry will turn out to be the easy part. After Anne Boleyn is beheaded, it’s clear to Jane that there are no happily ever after guarantees with King Henry VIII.
