When Thomas finally brings his highborn wife to London, Elizabeth indulges in lavish diversions and dalliances -- and catches the lusty king's eye. But those who enjoy Henry's fickle favor must also guard against his wrath. For while her husband's machinations bring Elizabeth and her children to the pinnacle of power, the distance to the scaffold is but a short one -- and the Boleyn family's fortune may be turning...
