A new adventure begins for Anne…
France, 1514
After an enlightening period of training as a lady’s maid at Marguerite of Austria’s court, Anne Boleyn has been sent to France.
She arrives at the Palace of Tournelles, home of ageing King Louis and his new English wife, Mary
Tudor, sister of King Henry VIII. As Anne speaks French, her main role is to serve as translator for
Queen Mary.
Anne’s sister Mary is also at the French court, and Anne soon learns that not everyone is pleased
about the union between the French king and his young queen.
The king’s cousin, Louise of Savoy, is desperate for Queen Mary not to fall pregnant, so that her son
Francis will ascend the throne.
And with Louise and the English queen pulling Anne in two different directions, it will not be possible to appease everyone.
Can Anne successfully navigate the familial politics at the French royal court? Will she make her mark as one of the queen’s maids?
Or could her divided loyalties prove to be her undoing…?
