The Wall Street Journal
Visceral and illuminating. Paul has produced a painstakingly detailed first book with spirit and verve. Her style is cinematic.
The shocking and extraordinary story of the most-conniving, manipulative Tudor family you've never heard of-the dashing and daring House of Dudley.
Each Tudor monarch made their name with a Dudley by their side-or by crushing one beneath their feet.
The Dudleys thrived at the court of Henry VII but were sacrificed to the popularity of Henry VIII. Rising to prominence in the reign of Edward VI, the Dudleys lost it all by advancing Jane Grey to the throne over Mary I. That was until the reign of Elizabeth I, when the family was once again at the center of power and would do anything to remain there . . .
With three generations of felled favorites, what was it that caused this family to keep rising so high and falling so low?
Here, for the first time, is the story of England's Borgias, a noble house competing in a murderous game for the English throne. Witness cunning, adultery, and sheer audacity from history's most brilliant, bold, and deceitful family.
Welcome to the House of Dudley.
