Jane Seymour of Wiltshire is not meant to go to Court - not a child like her, with her lack of beauty and no title. But family connections are enough to have her named to the bridal retinue of Mary Tudor. At the French Court, the plain and docile Jane meets the girl who will grow into her rival: the already charismatic and conniving Anne Boleyn. Years later, when Jane is called to serve Katherine of Aragon, who is fighting for her life as Queen in the face of Anne Boleyn's open seduction of King Henry VIII, Jane will learn the value of loyalty and honesty, while holding fast to her convictions.
