Royal Witch - by Philippa Gregory (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Royal Witch: the gripping new novel from the international bestselling author.

Ambition. Sorcery. Treason. How far will one woman dare to go?

Eleanor Cobham arrived at court with nothing -- her greatest hope was simply to marry well.

But her ambition carried her further than any woman before her had dared. She wanted to rule her own destiny. To rule England itself.

They say she summoned the devil himself to secure her fate.

They say she plotted to murder a king.

Now, it's time to finally hear her story.

This is the tale of the woman they called witch. Who would have called herself queen.

Review Quotes

"Richly researched . . . Reveals a number of surprising truths." - New York Post

"Stunning. . . . Full of surprises. . . . A brilliant, essential read." - The Independent

I haven't anticipated a novel with such wild enthusiasm in a long time! Philippa is the queen of Tudor and Plantagenet historical fiction, and Boleyn Traitor is another gripping addition to the already large collection of beautifully written, meticulously researched novels...you know what you're getting and are never disappointed: page turning stories, dark plots, grim deaths, hideous torture, heartbreaking love, intrigue, betrayal and ruthless social climbing, all set in an era of history that is eternally fascinating. Boleyn Traitor is utterly compelling and unputdownable, dominated by the monstrous tyrant King Henry VIII who one loves and loathes in equal measure. As with all Gregory books, I just want more! Gregory is still at the top of her game. A master storyteller. - SANTA MONTEFIORE, Sunday Times bestselling author of Shadows in the Moonlight

This is a book I quite genuinely couldn't put down. It was a stunning tour de force: compelling, thrilling, mesmerising, completely engrossing. I had forgotten just how good Philippa is, but this was even more special than I remembered . . . Her grasp of the period and its complex cast of characters was brilliant. - BARBARA ERSKINE, Sunday Times #1 bestselling author of The Story Spinner
