    <body><![CDATA[I wouldn't make this the first book you read about Henry the Eighth's court. Start with The Other Boleyn Girl or The Constant Princess by Phillipa Gregory.

    <![CDATA[One powerful king. Two tragic queens.<br/><br/>In the court of Henry VIII, it was dangerous for a woman to catch the king’s eye. Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard were cousins. Both were beautiful women, though very different in temperament. They each learned that Henry’s passion was all-consuming–and fickle.<br/><br/>Sophisticated Anne Boleyn, raised in the decadent court of France, was in love with another man when King Henry claimed her as his own. Being his mistress gave her a position of power; being his queen put her life in jeopardy. Her younger cousin, Catherine Howard, was only fifteen when she was swept into the circle of King Henry. Her innocence attracted him, but a past mistake was destined to haunt her. <br/><br/>Painted in the rich colors of Tudor England, <em>Murder Most Royal</em> is a page-turning journey into the lives of two of the wives of the tempestuous Henry VIII. <br/><br/><br/>Look for the Reading Group Guide at the back of this book.<br/><br/><br/>Also available as an ebook.]]>
