The only thing that could come between these sisters... is a
kingdom......
Two sisters, Anne and Mary Boleyn, are driven by their ambitious
Father and Uncle to advance the family's power and status by courting
the affections of the King of England. Leaving behind the simplicity
of country life, the girls are thrust into the dangerous and thrilling
world of court life--and what began as a bid to help their family
develops into a ruthless rivalry between Anne and Mary for the love of
the King. Initially, Mary wins King Henry's favor and becomes his
mistress, bearing him two illegitimate children. But Anne, clever,
conniving and fearless, edges aside both her sister and Henry's wife,
Queen Katherine of Aragon, in her relentless pursuit of the King.
Despite Mary's genuine feelings for Henry, her sister Anne has her
sights set on the ultimate prize; Anne will not stop until she is
Queen of England. As the Boleyn girls battle for the love of a King--
one driven by ambition, the other by true affection--England is torn
apart.
