In 1535 Thomas Cromwell remains Henry VIII’s chief minister, but the king’s marriage to Anne Boleyn has failed to produce a surviving son. Henry’s attention turns towards Jane Seymour, while Anne’s enemies and former allies wait for an opportunity to remove her.
Cromwell is ordered to convert rumour, resentment and private conversation into a legal case against the queen and the men accused with her. The investigation becomes both a political execution and a reckoning with those who helped destroy Cardinal Wolsey, showing how efficiently court intrigue can be transformed into evidence, trial and death.
