Lamentation

Více o knize

King Henry VIII is dying. His Protestant and Catholic councillors are engaged in a final and decisive power struggle; whoever wins will control the government of Henry's successor, the eight-year-old prince. As heretics are hunted, and the radical Protestant Anne Askew is burned at the stake, the Catholic party focus their attack on Henry's sixth wife, Shardlake's old mentor, Queen Catherine Parr.
