The King’s Shadow is a fictional reimagining of Tudor history, blending historical figures and events with original characters and alternate outcomes. While inspired by the real court of King Henry VIII, this story takes creative liberties for dramatic and thematic purposes.
Charlotte Wright, a mixed-race lady-in-waiting to Queen Anne Boleyn, is a fictional character set against the backdrop of 16th-century England—a time of political intrigue, rigid social hierarchies, and ruthless power struggles. Her journey explores themes of survival, resilience, and defiance in a world that seeks to silence her voice.
This is not a traditional love story. It is a tale of sacrifice, strength, and rebellion in the face of tyranny. Charlotte’s experience with King Henry VIII is one of coercion, not romance. Her story sheds light on the brutal realities faced by women—especially women of color—in a court ruled by a man obsessed with control and legacy.
Please note that this work contains mature themes, including power imbalances, loss, and emotional trauma, portrayed with sensitivity and depth.
As you enter Charlotte’s world, remember: this is a story about what it means to fight for freedom, even when the cost is everything.
