It continues the story of Thomas Cromwell, now Master Secretary to the King's Privy Council, as he orchestrates the downfall of Anne Boleyn, who has failed to produce a male heir for King Henry VIII.

The King's attention turns to Jane Seymour, and Cromwell must navigate the complex web of alliances and rivalries within the royal court to facilitate the King's new marriage.

The book explores the political and personal intrigues of the period, culminating in the trial and execution of Anne Boleyn and her associates for adultery and treason.
