The innocent girl quickly learns that   her grandmother’s puritanism is not shared by Katherine’s free-spirited cousins,   with whom she lives. Beautiful and impressionable, Katherine becomes involved in   two ill-fated love affairs before her sixteenth birthday. Like her cousin Anne Boleyn,   she leaves her grandmother’s home to become a lady-in-waiting at the court of Henry   VIII. The royal palaces are exciting to a young girl from the country, and Katherine finds that her duties there allow her to be near her handsome cousin, Thomas Culpepper,   whom she has loved since childhood. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e But when Katherine catches the eye of the aging   and unhappily married king, she is forced to abandon her plans for a life with Thomas   and marry King Henry. Overwhelmed by the change in her fortunes, bewildered and flattered   by the adoration of her husband, Katherine is dazzled by the royal life. But her   bliss is short-lived as rumors of her wayward past come back to haunt her, and Katherine’s   destiny takes another, deadly, turn.","brand":"Crown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43365557928191,"sku":"9780609810170","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780609810170_s600x595.jpg?v=1775582844","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780609810170","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
