Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

We all know Henry VIII had six wives. But these ladies are far too interesting to only be known as wives. Did you know that Catherine of Aragon rallied her troops in full armour while heavily pregnant? Or that Anne of Cleves met Henry VIII before they married—only she didn't realise, because he was in disguise? Or that it was Catherine Parr who persuaded the king to return his daughters Mary and Elizabeth—two of British history's most famous monarchs—to the line of succession?

Get ready to lose your head as the six wonderful women behind the man take centre stage to overthrow her-story. From rumours of scandals and lots of lying, to political plays and fabulous frocks, The Six Queens of Henry VIII is a story filled with ambition, treason, and strong women.
