Henry VIII broke with Rome for Anne Boleyn, but she has not kept her promise to bear him a son and secure the Tudor line, and by 1535 the king has turned his attention to Jane Seymour. Thomas Cromwell, his chief minister, must construct a version of the truth that will satisfy Henry and safeguard his own career. Seen from inside Cromwell's watchful mind, the months that follow are a web of intrigue: he questions witnesses, handles ambassadors and works the court, loyal to the king who raised him and ruthless in his service, knowing that the old nobility would gladly see him fall. Neither minister nor king will come through Anne's last days unmarked.
