About

In the dangerous world of King Henry VIII's court in 1520s England, Thomas Cromwell risks everything to gain the king's favor and rise to power. With Henry seeking to annul his marriage and marry Anne Boleyn against opposition from the pope and Europe, Cromwell navigates a treacherous path, balancing charm, ruthlessness, and ambition. As he helps Henry overcome his adversaries, Cromwell faces the volatile king's unpredictable moods. Hilary Mantel's novel vividly portrays a society on the brink of change, where personal choices can lead to either unlimited power or death in a finely woven tapestry of characters and events.
