About this listen

 In Book 4, titled Cardinal Wolsey, the saga deepens as we explore the tumultuous events surrounding Henry VIIIs controversial decision to replace Catherine of Aragon with the enchanting Anne Boleyn. As Henry pursues Anne, we encounter a tapestry of other romances, including the forbidden love between the Earl of Surrey and Lady Elizabeth Fitzgerald, a pairing that Henry vehemently opposes. Complications arise as Thomas Wyat, enamored with Anne himself, and Cardinal Wolsey, who cunningly employs the mysterious maiden Mabel Lyndwood to divert Henry‚s affections, clash with the king‚s desires. Meanwhile, the haunting presence of Herne the Hunter, a dark spirit of Windsor Forest, looms ominously. This malevolent force seeks the souls of those entangled in the royal court, and despite Henrys efforts, he finds himself unable to vanquish this evil. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia) Other books in the series Book 1, Book 2, Book 3, Book 5, Book 6.
