Chapter 1

After the executioner's sword descends upon her neck, Anne Boleyn does not awaken in Heaven, much less in Purgatory. She awakens in Hever Castle, eight years before her last morning on earth.

She has no desire to tread the same path again. This time, she is seemingly content to allow Henry to have her, then marry her off. However, when things get out of control, Henry decides on a petty revenge against his recalcitrant lady, and arranges for her to marry an obscure lawyer in Cardinal Wolsey's employ... also known as Thomas Cromwell, the man who, in another life, had helped to kill her.

(Note: although this story has a romantic subplot, it is not primarily a romance).
