She survived her own innocence, and the treachery of Europe’s royal courts; The Last   Boleyn is the story of the rise and fall of the Boleyns, one of England’s most   powerful families, through the eyes of the eldest daughter, Mary. Although her sister,   Anne, the queen; her brother, George, executed alongside Anne; and her father, Thomas,   are most remembered by history, Mary was the Boleyn who set into motion the chain   of events that brought about the family’s meteoric rise to power, as well as the   one who managed to escape their equally remarkable fall. Sent away to France at an   extraordinarily young age, Mary is quickly plunged into the dangerous world of court   politics, where everything is beautiful but deceptive, and everyone she meets is   watching and quietly manipulating the events and people around them. As she grows   into a woman, Mary must navigate both the dangerous waters ruled by two kings and   the powerful will of her own family in order to find a place for herself and the   love she so deeply desires.
