About this audiobook
He wiped the King’s backside, and shaped the fate of England.
In the glittering, rotting court of Henry VIII, no man is closer to power than Thomas Piers, Groom of the Stool. His sacred duty? Managing the King’s most private functions with silence, skill, and terrifying political acumen. One wrong move could mean execution, or worse, exile into obscurity.
As Anne Boleyn rises and falls, as the King’s body bloats and betrays him, Thomas witnesses every grim secret behind the royal tapestries. Love, betrayal, ambition, decay, it all passes through his hands. And when the order comes to forge a lie that will send a Queen to her death, Thomas must decide whether survival is worth the price of his soul.
Rooted in shocking historical truth, Groom of the Stool peels back the velvet curtain on Tudor grandeur to reveal the blood, bile, and brutal games beneath.
For fans of true tales where power corrupts absolutely, and sometimes smells worse.
