History has lied.
Anne Boleyn has been sold to us as a dark figure, a scheming seductress who bewitched Henry VIII into divorcing his queen and his church in an unprecedented display of passion. Quite the tragic love story, right?
Wrong.
In this electrifying exposé, Hayley Nolan explores for the first time the full, uncensored evidence of Anne Boleyn's life and relationship with Henry VIII, revealing the shocking suppression of a powerful woman.
So leave all notions of outdated and romanticised folklore at the door and forget what you think you know about one of the Tudors' most notorious queens. She may have been silenced for centuries, but this urgent book ensures Anne Boleyn's voice is being heard now.

This was fascinating and compelling. I enjoyed every word. I only knew the 'popular' version of Anne's tale, how she was a schemer, a seductress and a monster by all accounts. To say this book was an eye-opener is an understatement. This book is meticulously researched and thought provoking. I've only read a handful of biographies and this is the best. Nolan humanises Anne as she painstakingly reveals the truth about her betrayals and tragic murder, yes murder and reveals the true monsters in the Tudor court.
