The Beheading Game (3/24)
Join us for an event with debut author Rebecca Lehmann! On Thursday, April 9th at 6pm, the
award-winning poet and essayist will sign and discuss her captivating historical novel, The Beheading Game.
We all know what happened to Henry VIII’s second wife, Anne Boleyn. But what if she woke up the day after her execution and took it upon herself to seek justice?
A fantastical journey through the wilds of England and Tudor history, filled with danger and magic and steeped in Arthurian legend, The Beheading Game is a prescient reminder that “mouthy” women have always been punished. Now, thanks to debut novelist Rebecca Lehmann, nearly five hundred years after Anne Boleyn’s death, one of history’s most maligned women finally has the chance to tell her story.
The Beheading Game releases March 24.
