A historical fantasy reimagining the rise and fall of Anne Boleyn

In this captivating alternate history, Anne Boleyn harbors a powerful secret beneath her courtly charms-she is a witch, born into an ancient magical lineage carefully hidden from a world that fears what it cannot understand. The Boleyn women have always possessed these gifts, passing them from mother to daughter through generations, with only select family members-Anne's mother, sister Mary, and brother George-sharing in this closely guarded truth.

When Anne catches the eye of King Henry VIII, she sees not just a path to power but a destined union foretold in the ancient prophecies of her bloodline. As she navigates the treacherous Tudor court, Anne must balance her growing influence with the dangerous secret she carries. Her magic gives her advantages other courtiers lack-the ability to sense intentions, to know of her pregnancy within days, to glimpse shadows of possible futures-but it also places her in constant peril.

The novel weaves historical events with magical elements, creating a rich tapestry where political intrigue meets the supernatural. King François of France recognizes Anne's true nature immediately, becoming an unexpected ally in protecting her secret. Meanwhile, Henry himself begins to sense something otherworldly about his new queen, drawn to her by forces he cannot name yet instinctively fears.

As Anne's power grows alongside her pregnancy, so too do the threats against her. Court conspirators led by those loyal to the old ways seek to expose her as a witch, while Anne herself struggles to control the growing magical signature of the Tudor-Boleyn child within her-a child destined to change the course of English history.

The Crimson Prophecy reimagines Tudor England as a place where magic flows beneath the surface of recorded history, where Anne's eventual fall from grace becomes not just a political execution but a clash between ancient powers and emerging religious forces seeking to erase the old ways forever.

Perfect for fans of Philippa Gregory and Deborah Harkness, this novel blends meticulous historical detail with fantasy elements to create a spellbinding alternative explanation for one of history's most fascinating and tragic figures.
