The story is set in the 16th century and follows the life of King Henry VIII from his early years as a prince to his reign as the most powerful monarch in England. The book explores the political and religious turmoil of the time, including the Reformation and the rise of Protestantism. The novel also delves into the personal life of Henry VIII, including his marriages to his six wives and his quest for a male heir. The central focus of the book is Henry's relationship with his advisor, Thomas Cromwell, and their efforts to consolidate power and establish the Church of England. Benson's writing style is rich and descriptive, providing a vivid picture of life in Tudor England.
