Synopsis
"Thrilling... well-researched and at times painfully poignant." INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY The worst wars are fought within families... Jean Rombaurd, slayer and savior of Anne Boleyn, believed that by honouring his vow to bury her six-fingered hand, he would find peace. He was wrong. Nineteen years later the relic is still a weapon of coercion, to be dug up and used against Anne's vulnerable daughter, Elizabeth. When its hiding place is betrayed - and by his own son - Jean must somehow regain a courage long lost and dispose of the hand forever. From the Tower of London, through besieged Sienna to a bloody reckoning across the ocean in Canada, can the Rombaurd family ever be reconciled? Can Anne Boleyn and her kin ever rest?

From AudioFile
April 1555. Siena, Tuscany, and Canada. The story that began with a single sword swipe on Tower Green and the loss of Ann Boleyn's head ends with a night battle on the shores of the St. Lawrence and the imminent destruction of the Native American Huron tribe. C.C. Humphreys, actor, writer, and now the reader of this tale, takes the listener on an exhausting fast-paced journey that covers two continents and graphic depictions of bloody battles, human misery, torture, and the violent killing of animals. Happily, the descriptions of Native American lifestyles, as well as several love stories, soften this epic enough to soothe the psyche, balance the story, and engage the listener.
