She crossed the sea to become Henry VIII's queen. Instead, she became something far more dangerous: a woman who refused to die for a king.

When Anne of Cleves arrives in England to marry the notorious Henry VIII, she expects duty, obedience, and a crown. What she does not expect is the king's immediate revulsion toward her - or the deadly atmosphere of the Tudor court, where queens who fail are discarded, disgraced, or destroyed.

Surrounded by whispers of execution and haunted by the fates of the women who came before her, Anne quickly understands the peril she faces. To fight for the crown is to risk her life. To surrender it may cost her everything she was raised to believe she must be.

In a court where survival is never accidental, Anne of Cleves makes an unthinkable choice: she agrees to her own annulment. But this is not defeat. It is strategy. By becoming the king's "beloved sister," Anne secures wealth, independence, and the one thing no other wife of Henry VIII achieved - her freedom.

From the treacherous splendor of the Tudor court to the quiet power of a life reclaimed, this intimate historical novel restores the voice of a woman history dismissed as merely "lucky." Anne of Cleves was not lucky. She was brilliant. And she won by knowing when to walk away.

Perfect for readers who love Tudor historical fiction, strong heroines, and clean, character-driven stories about women who survived history on their own terms. Meant to be a short escape, this book is part of a series, but can be read as a standalone.
