When young Anne Boleyn is sent to the French court with her father and sister, Mary, she thinks she's in for an innocent adventure. But when the ambitious ambassador Thomas Boleyn leads them into the highly sophisticated and sexually permissive court of Francois I, Anne quickly learns that she and her sister are merely pawns for her father's own political purpose. Mary becomes mistress to the outrageous French king and is ultimately seduced into his dangerous world by the luxuries of the court. But Anne will have a different fate...
Anne is younger, more clever, and stronger-willed than her sister, and with the guidance of powerful allies and such unlikely friends as Leonardo da Vinci, she learns how to navigate the challenges, passions, and betrayals of the court. And as she grows into a beautiful woman, Anne undergoes her own awakening, each daring exploit taking her one step closer to the life that is her destiny.
THE END IS NEAR
The once-great traction city of London is now just a radioactive wreck, a ruin haunted by electrical discharges and the dashed hopes of people who once called it home - people like Tom Natsworthy. Twenty years after he fled, intending never to return, he discovers that something stirs in the remains of the old city.
Tom and his daughter, Wren aren't the only people interested in London. The desperate armies of the Traction Cities and the Green Storm are also closing in, certain that whatever is taking shape within the city holds the key to victory in their never-ending war.
But it may be too late. Even as Tom and Wren hurry to uncover the mystery of London, Hester Shaw - estranged from her husband and her daughter - tracks the resurrected Stalker Fang, who has found another way to end the war and all life on the planet once and for all.

The book is a social commentary narrating the cruelty of the Spanish friars to the Filipinos. The novel is woven around the romance of Crisostomo Ibarra and Maria Clara but the deeper and more subtle theme revolves around the abuses of Spanish priests and the colonial government. Crisóstomo Ibarra is the son of Don Rafael Ibarra, and had studied in Europe. María Clara is a girl blessed with beauty, grace and charm. She is the daughter of a Spanish friar (priest), Padre Dámaso, and a Filipina, Doña Pía Alba, who is married to Santiago de los Santos, popularly known as Capitán Tiago.
The Spanish authorities, particularly Padre Dámaso, hated and feared Crisóstomo Ibarra--a young, wealthy, European-educated Filipino--because of his patriotic and progressive ideas of helping his oppressed countrymen.
