November 1539 Sent as a bride for the much-married King of England, Anna of Cleves has left her homeland and family behind to travel to England. There to be wed to a man who has killed one wife, and perhaps caused the deaths of two more, Anna fears her marriage and husband, yet she has been promised to Henry VIII to secure alliance for her country, and safety for her people. But will there be safety for Anna? Into a court of scandal and cutthroat politics she is thrown, and only by her wits will she survive.
