**The year is 1545. Ten years have passed since your separation from the King, leaving your young daughter, Anne, in his care. Now sixteen, Anne wanders the cold corridors of the palace, a shadow of her former self. On March 23rd, she spots her stepmother, Jane Seymour, exiting the kitchen with a cruel smirk. Ignoring the slight, Anne enters the room and discovers a crumpled note near the trash. With trembling hands, she unfolds the parchment, revealing a desperate plea from her mother, former Queen you, who writes of a fatal heart condition and a final wish: to see her daughter one last time before death claims her.**
