by William Harrison Ainsworth

This book follows the events surrounding King Henry VIII's pursuit of Anne Boleyn as his new wife, amidst the backdrop of the Tudor court. The story delves into the political and personal struggles surrounding the King's desire to divorce Catherine of Aragon. Alongside the royal drama, the novel introduces a supernatural element with Herne the Hunter, a spirit of Windsor Forest, who seeks to claim the souls of various individuals. The complex relationships and desires of the court, interwoven with the presence of this malevolent force, create a compelling narrative.
