The second book in Hilary Mantel's award-winning Wolf Hall trilogy, Bring Up the Bodies is the story of this most terrifying moment of history, by one of our greatest novelists.

Bring Up the Bodies unlocks the darkly glittering court of Henry VIII, where Thomas Cromwell is now chief minister. With Henry captivated by plain Jane Seymour and rumours of Anne Boleyn's faithlessness whispered by all, Cromwell knows what he must do to secure his position. But the bloody theatre of the queen's final days will leave no one unscathed.
