Description

Windsor Castle is set amid Henry VIII’s dangerous pursuit of Anne Boleyn, where court intrigue, ambition, and forbidden love collide. As the king moves to cast aside Catherine of Aragon, rivals and scheming courtiers plot for power. Looming over the drama is Herne the Hunter, a sinister spirit haunting Windsor Forest. William Harrison Ainsworth blends Tudor history with Gothic horror, exploring desire, betrayal, and the deadly cost of royal favor.

Author

William Harrison Ainsworth (1805–1882) was the great Victorian showman of historical romance — a novelist who filled magazines and bookstalls with highwaymen, witches, Tudor courts, and London underworlds. Rookwood made Dick Turpin a legend; Jack Sheppard turned a thief into a popular hero; The Lancashire Witches brought the Pendle trials back to feverish life.
