In the 1520s, England teeters on the brink of catastrophe. Without a male successor, the King’s death could plunge the nation into civil war. Henry VIII seeks to annul his two-decade-long marriage to wed Anne Boleyn, facing opposition from the Pope and much of Europe. Enter Thomas Cromwell: a unique figure, both charming and intimidating, an idealist and an opportunist, skilled at understanding people and relentless in his ambitions. However, Henry is unpredictable, alternating between affection and violence. Cromwell aids him in overcoming resistance, but what will be the cost of his success?
