More about the book

From the court of Henry VIII, Tom builds a powerful empire of church and state. At home in London, away from prying eyes, he finds joy in a secret second life. But when King Henry, his cherished friend, demands the ultimate sacrifice, what will Wolsey choose? AN EXTRAORDINARY RISE TO POWER. A TRAGIC FALL FROM GRACE.
