<b>PRE-ORDER NOW! </b><br/><br/><b>One queen exiled. Another headed for the gallows. Both hungry for revenge. England's most infamous queens unite in vengeance against Henry VIII. </b><br/><br/>Anne Boleyn is going to die, and neither her cleverness nor her witchery can save her.<br/><br/> So when her late rival, Catalina de Aragon, miraculously appears in her cell at the Tower of London on the eve of her execution, very much alive and offering a daring escape plan, no one is more surprised than Anne.<br/><br/>Lina doesn't have Anne's magic-but she has just as much hate for England's wretched king. Severed from her daughter and stripped of all her influence, Lina breathes only for the Hellebore Sisterhood, a clandestine and powerful society with a vested interest in keeping both queens alive...and using their particular skills to advance womankind.<br/><br/>Anne and Lina's old rivalries pale in comparison to a common enemy.

As he writes in his preface, 'The low points in life so often produce the most keenly felt and best-loved songs.' And, it might be added, some of the best poetry.
