✦ Synopsis

What would have happened if Anne Boleyn hadn’t been executed at the order of her husband King Henry VIII of England in May 1536? The Queen’s revenge recounts an alternative life story of this iconic historical figure, one which sees our heroine escape from England to France and later to marry King François I of France, plotting revenge against Henry. In this alternative universe, Anne Boleyn becomes the second woman in history, after Eleanor of Aquitaine, who marries a King of England and then a King of France.
The Queen’s revenge will appeal to the numerous fans of Showtime’s “The Tudors”, which was hugely successful and ran for four seasons, and will similarly appeal to many readers of historical fiction, particularly fictions covering the Tudor and the Renaissance periods. My target audience would be the viewers of The Tudors and people who are greatly interested in history and who loved Anne Boleyn, feeling aggrieved by her unjust death. The novel with an exotic, exceptional plot contains many elements that, I believe, are irresistible to readers: rich, colorful descriptions of the Renaissance period, the rivalry between the English and the French monarchs, sophisticated court intrigues, as well as revenge, love and power.
