The Fifth Queen

The Fifth Queen

Ford Madox Ford

Step into the cutthroat world of Henry VIII's court through the eyes of Katherine Howard, a young, devoutly Catholic noblewoman thrust into its viper's nest. Arriving just as Henry weds his fourth wife, Katherine is a beacon of idealism and beauty, utterly unprepared for the Machiavellian machinations and moral decay that permeate the Tudor palace. Her accidental brush with the King quickly ensnares her in a web of competing factions and treacherous ambitions, where loyalty is a fleeting currency and power is wielded with ruthless abandon. This is the first act of a tragic drama, painting a vivid, impressionistic portrait of a queen destined for a brutal end.
