From &quot;the queen of royal fiction&quot; (<i>USA TODAY</i>) comes this <i>New York Times</i> bestseller featuring three very different women whose fates are each bound by a bloody curse: the legacy of the Boleyn family.<br><br>After the death of his third wife, Jane Seymour, King Henry VIII of England decides to take a new wife, but this time, not for love. <i>The Boleyn Inheritance</i> follows three women whose lives are forever changed because of the king's decision, as they must balance precariously in an already shaky Tudor Court. <br> <br>Anne of Cleves is to be married to Henry to form a political alliance, though the rocky relationship she has to the king does not bode well for her or for England.<br> <br>Katherine Howard is the young, beautiful woman who captures Henry's eye, even though he is set to marry Anne. Her spirit runs free and her passions run hot - though her affections may not be returned upon the King. <br> <br>Jane Rochford was married to George Boleyn, and it was her testimony that sent her husband and infamous sister-in-law Anne to their deaths. Throughout the country, her name is known for malice, jealousy, and twisted lust. <br> <br><i>The Boleyn Inheritance</i> is a novel drawn tight as a lute string about three women whose positions brought them wealth, admirations, and power, as well as deceit, betrayal, and terror.
