The Queen's Witch (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781662540233)

From award-winning author Nancy Kress comes a lush historical fantasy that reimagines the life of Anne Boleyn from the lens of the witch who helps guide her in courtly rise--an enchanted tale of sisterhood, power, and a dangerous bid for the throne.

Alysoun Rowe descends from an ancient line of cunning women--healers and hedge witches whose full power only awakens when they bond with their destined Third. But after a spell goes frightfully wrong, she discovers her familiar is no ordinary object or animal. It's a distant kinswoman: Anne Boleyn, a brilliant young lady on the rise in King Henry VIII's luminous yet treacherous court.

Anne will do anything to wear the crown of England. And Alysoun will go just as far to unlock the wild magick spiraling inside her, even if it means breaking her coven's age-old rules.

As the king's desire morphs into a dangerous obsession and a ruthless witch hunt closes in, the two women form a reluctant truce. Bound by fate in a realm of lust, rivalry, and betrayal, they each face a choice. But how far will they go to seize power in a world that would gladly watch them burn?
