Plain Jane Seymour, daughter of a minor Wiltshire gentleman, has never wanted anything more than a nice home, a loving husband and a nursery full of children.
When a family scandal forces her to go to court, King Henry VIII's marital ups and downs indirectly pull her nearer and nearer to the centre of the tempest of power games and rivalries that follow the King wherever he goes. Jane's dreams of a husband and a family of her own are looking ever-more distant, until Henry's eye lights on her.
She risked everything to become queen.

She used her wiles to win the heart of England's most powerful man, King Henry VIII, and to persuade him to defy everyone-including his own wife-to make her his new queen. But Anne's ambition proved to be her fatal flaw.
