Two sisters competing for the greatest prize: The love of a king When Mary Boleyn comes to court as an innocent girl of fourteen, she catches the eye of Henry VIII. Dazzled, Mary falls in love with both her golden prince and her growing role as unofficial queen. However, she soon realises just how much she is a pawn in her family's ambitious plots as the king's interest begins to wane and she is forced to step aside for her best friend and rival: her sister, Anne. Then Mary knows that she must defy her family and her king and take fate into her own hands. A rich and compelling novel of love, sex, ambition, and intrigue, The Other Boleyn Girl introduces a woman of extraordinary determination and desire who lived at the heart of the most exciting and glamourous court in Europe and survived by following her heart.

Rome, 1520. The Eternal City is in mourning after the sudden death of Raphael Sanzio, the beloved painter and national hero. His body lies in state at the Pantheon, while nearby, Margherita Luti, a baker's daughter and Raphael's beloved, seeks refuge at the convent of Sant'Apollonia. Once a cherished figure in Roman society, she is now an outcast, pursued by powerful enemies within the Vatican. Margherita, who appeared as the Madonna in many of Raphael's works, finds herself at a crossroads. The Mother Superior agrees to admit her, but first, Margherita must relinquish the ruby ring she wears, a symbol of her connection to Raphael and their scandalous love. The ring, with its storied past, must be returned to the Church, or she will be cast out into the streets. Within the convent's walls, Margherita grapples with her decision, reflecting on her life with Raphael—the love and torment encapsulated in that one precious jewel.
