In 1514 Anne Boleyn travels to France in the household of Mary Tudor, who is to marry the ageing Louis XII. Serving as an attendant and interpreter places Anne close to a royal marriage arranged for diplomacy and exposes her to the tensions surrounding the French succession.

The ambitions of Louise of Savoy and her son Francis, the conduct of Anne’s sister Mary and the sudden death of Louis transform the court around her. Anne must decide how to secure a place in France when the queen she serves prepares to abandon the political role for which she was sent.
