Book overview

In the winter of 1535, young Kate Carey lives with her mother, far from the royal court. Unhappy with her life and unable to accept her mother's new marriage, she wants to escape her home.

 

Fate takes a turn when she receives an invitation from her idolised aunt, Anne Boleyn, inviting her to join her royal household in London. At first thrilled to immerse herself in the opulence and intrigue of Henry VIII's court, Kate enters a dark and dangerous labyrinth where power, betrayal, and passion intertwine.

 

As she witnesses the final tragic days of her aunt's time as Henry VIII's second wife, Kate confronts the harsh realities of court life and navigates a treacherous world of secrets and political machinations. When she stumbles upon a revelation that will forever alter her destiny, Kate's world is turned upside down.

 

All things must end-all things but love.

 

This new edition of The Light in the Labyrinth includes two short stories and a poem inspired by Catherine Carey.
