About The Mirror & the Light
Beginning after Anne Boleyn’s execution in May 1536, the final volume follows Thomas Cromwell as he rises to immense power and wealth while Henry VIII’s reign is tested by rebellion, treason, and threats from abroad. As Cromwell imagines a reformed England, his enemies gather and survival under a capricious king becomes the question.
