*Pre-order Royal Witch, Philippa Gregory's new novel now. Coming October 2027*
Two sisters. One king. A court built on desire and betrayal.
When Mary Boleyn comes to court she is invisible, until she catches the eye of Henry VIII. Stepping into a world of privilege and danger, she becomes his mistress.
But when her ambitious sister Anne arrives, determined to win the king’s heart for herself, Mary risks losing everything.
One sister longs to escape. The other is determined to rise. Which Boleyn girl will survive the court of a tyrant?
‘Gregory has popularised Tudor history perhaps more than any other living fiction writer’ Sunday Times
‘Philippa Gregory is truly the mistress of the historical novel. It would be hard to make history more entertaining, lively or engaging’ Sunday Express
Praise for Philppa Gregory:
‘Gregory's research is impeccable which makes her imaginative fiction all the more convincing’ Daily Mail
‘Gregory is great at conjuring a Tudor film-set of gorgeous gowns and golden-lattered dining. She invokes some swoonsome images…while the politics are personal enough to remain pertinent’ DailyTelegraph
‘Subtle and exciting’ Daily Express
‘Written from instinct, not out of calculation, and it shows’
Peter Ackroyd, The Times
‘For sheer pace and percussive drama it will take a lot of beating’ Sunday Times
