Publisher Marketing: In this wonderfully creative retelling of the infamous--and torrid--love affair between Anne Boleyn and King Henry VIII, history collides with the present when a sizzling romance ignites in a modern-day high school. Henry Tudor's life has been mapped out since the day he was born: student body president, valedictorian, Harvard Law School, and a stunning political career just like his father's. But ever since the death of his brother, the pressure for Henry to be perfect has doubled. And now he's trapped: forbidden from pursuing a life as an artist or dating any girl who isn't Tudor-approved. Then Anne Boleyn crashes into his life.
