A Sunday Times Top Ten bestseller, "Katherine of Aragon: The True Queen" by bestselling historian Alison Weir, author of "The Lost Tudor Princess," is the first in a spellbinding six-novel series about Henry VIII's queens. Alison takes you on an engrossing journey at Katherine's side and shows her extraordinary strength of character and intelligence. Ideal for fans of Philippa Gregory and Elizabeth Chadwick.

The book shatters the many myths about Henry VIII's long-suffering first wife. Tracy Borman notes, "Weir is excellent on the little details that bring a world to life."

Katherine, a Spanish princess, is raised to be modest, obedient, and devout, destined to be an English queen. Six weeks from home across treacherous seas, everything is different: the language, the food, the weather. And for her, there is no comfort in any of it. At sixteen years old, Catalina is alone among strangers. She misses her mother.
