The Falcon's Last Flight is a powerful new Tudor drama that imagines the forbidden meeting that history never recorded , the night before Anne Boleyn’s execution.
Imprisoned in the Tower of London, the fallen queen awaits the sword that will end her life. But as darkness falls, a secret visitor is admitted to her chamber: King Henry VIII, the husband who once raised her from obscurity to the throne and who has now condemned her to die.
Across one sleepless night, the two most infamous lovers in English history face each other for the last time. Accusations turn to confessions, pride to passion, and faith to fury as they confront the truth of what they were and what they have destroyed.
Anne speaks of legacy and prophecy that her daughter, Elizabeth, will one day rule the realm. Henry defends his soul, his kingship, and the order of a world ruled by men.
Set against a candlelit world of velvet, steel, and whispered prayer, The Falcon's Last Flight reveals not only the fall of a queen but the breaking of a king , a story of love, power, and the price of immortality.
