One queen exiled. Another headed for the gallows. Both hungry for revenge. England’s most infamous queens unite in vengeance against Henry VIII.
Anne Boleyn is going to die, and neither her cleverness nor her witchery can save her.
So when her late rival, Catalina de Aragón, miraculously appears in her cell at the Tower of London on the eve of her execution, very much alive and offering a daring escape plan, no one is more surprised than Anne.
Lina doesn’t have Anne’s magic—but she has just as much hate for England’s wretched king. Severed from her daughter and stripped of all her influence, Lina breathes only for the Hellebore Sisterhood, a clandestine and powerful society with a vested interest in keeping both queens alive…and using their particular skills to advance womankind.
Anne and Lina’s old rivalries pale in comparison to a common enemy. One by one, they capture their pawns, infiltrating the court, recruiting the new queens in Henry’s orbit, and eliminating the men who plotted against them. Always inching closer to their true target...
And they want his head.

Praise for Henry Tudor Must Die:
"Sharp, emotional, and deeply relevant, Jillian Laine's debut tells the story of queens reclaiming their power. Read this book if you love stories about sisterhood, magic, and a witty 'what if?"—Jodi Meadows, New York Times bestselling co-author of My Lady Jane
"Henry Tudor Must Die is unlike anything I have ever read! Fiercely feminist, with a secret society of women, witchcraft and court politics and schemes."—Naina Kumar, USA Today bestselling author
"Hell hath no fury like a woman who survives her own beheading. Henry Tudor Must Die is an exquisite declaration of female rage, sisterhood, and what it takes to stand against the abuse of power in a deeply unjust world."—Emily Krempholtz, USA Today bestselling author of Violet Thistlewaite Is Not a Villain Anymore
"A rambunctious romp of a book. Revenge is a dish best served with a side of Henry Tudor’s head and I loved every minute of watching his capable wives come together to sharpen their swords." —A. Rushby, author of Slashed Beauties
"History as it should have been, Henry Tudor Must Die delivers the delicious revenge we’ve been craving for centuries."—Kirsten Miller, author of The Change and The Women of Wild Hill
"Henry Tudor Must Die delivers the perfect revenge story, 500 years in the making. Witchcraft, fiery heroines and the ultimate tale of sisterhood. This is an absolute delight."—Holly Race, bestselling author of Six Wild Crowns
