# The Boleyn Secret

The Boleyn Secret follows Kate Carey, who at twelve years old attends her aunt, Queen Anne Boleyn, to the scaffold and comes away convinced that Henry VIII has sent an innocent woman to her death. With the Boleyns out of favour, Kate serves her motherless cousin, the young Lady Elizabeth, and the two girls grow as close as sisters until Kate marries for love and leaves a jealous Elizabeth behind.

Alison Weir takes Kate through the whispers at court, exile abroad during the religious persecutions and her return once Elizabeth becomes queen. Published by Headline in 2026, it suits readers who enjoy Tudor history told from the women standing close to the throne, as a family secret quietly reshapes a bond between cousins.
