Henry's Last Queen
(2026)(The seventh book in the Women Of The Tudor Court series)
A novel by Shania Thorne
She survived the king who destroyed five wives. But could she survive her own heart?
When Katherine Parr becomes a lady-in-waiting to Henry VIII's daughter, The Lady Mary, she knows the dangers of Henry's court. Twice widowed, she dreams of marrying Thomas Seymour, the charming courtier who has captured her heart. But when the aging, volatile king notices her, Katherine’s choice is made for her.
Refusing a king is not an option.
As Henry’s sixth wife, Katherine must navigate deadly court factions, ease the king’s agonizing pain, and protect his three children - all while hiding her faith in a court where religious heresy means the block. When she is named Regent of England while Henry wages war in France, Katherine discovers she is more than a survivor. She is a ruler.
But in 1546, religious conservatives strike. With reformer Anne Askew arrested and tortured, and an arrest warrant drawn up for Katherine herself, one wrong word could send her to the Tower - and to the fate of Queens Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard before her.
Through intelligence and wit, Katherine survives her marriage to Henry. When she is finally free, she believes she has earned the right to choose her own happiness with Thomas Seymour. But love, she will learn, can be as dangerous as the crown.
A work of historical fiction, Henry’s Last Queen tells the story of Katherine Parr, the most learned of Henry VIII’s wives, and a woman who came perilously close to losing everything she believed in.
This book is part of a series, but can be read as a standlone. Meant to be a quick escape to another place and time.
