To Die For: A Novel of Anne Boleyn (Ladies in Waiting #1)
by Sandra Byrd (Goodreads Author)
read in April, 2013

“It is the Land of Truth (enchanted name!), surrounded by a wide and stormy ocean, the true home of illusion, where many a fog bank and ice, that soon melts away, tempt us to believe in new lands, while constantly deceiving the adventurous mariner with vain hopes, and involving him in adventures which he can never leave, yet never bring to an end.”
