Anne Boleyn's life is threatened, intrigue, gossip and treachery abound, and her destiny is finally revealed.

A young Anne Boleyn and her sister are sent to Paris to attend Mary Tudor, the new Queen of France. Unclear where her loyalties should lie, Anne soon makes an enemy of the queen. When the widowed Mary returns to England, Anne stays on in France to serve the new queen, Claude, but Anne's sister's actions put the girls' new court career at risk.

A dangerous love affair follows and Anne finds an unlikely ally in the French king's mistress.

But nothing ever goes to plan...

The Falcon’s Flight is the second part of Natalia Richard’s vivid retelling of Anne Boleyn’s early life. Book one, The Falcon’s Rise, vividly portrayed Anne’s early life in England. The Falcon’s Flight takes us on to Anne’s ever eventful life on the continent.

Review

"Not much is told of Anne Boleyns early years. The author does a smashing job here. It's well worth the read." - Bente Millek

"This is a very good book. It is about Anne Boleyn's earlier years. I have read everything I can find about Anne Boleyn, so to keep me interested in her early life was a pleasant surprise." - Deb

As a curator and historian for over 30 years, I have worked in various museums in Derbyshire and London. I have also worked free-lance for the History Channel USA as researcher, co-ordinator and interviewer on the award winning production 'Secrets of War.' However, my passion since a very early age has been the study of Anne Boleyn and the court of King Henry VIII.

I did not begin writing seriously until 2008, and originally wanted to write about Anne Boleyn at the English court. However, a great deal had already been written about this period, and so I began to look at her earlier life from around 1500 to 1521. Since research as a curator has always been my passion, I aspired to write as factual a novel as possible and visited the places Anne knew including the palace of Margaret of Austria, in Mechelen, outside Brussels. There I was honoured to gain access to rooms not normally open to the public. The result of my research was ‘The Falcon's Rise,' my first book. I have followed it up with part two ‘The Falcon's Flight' published 19 May 2020. This second book covers Anne’s time at the French court, and ends as she is about to return to England. I had a wonderful time in France researching this book and visiting the château Anne herself knew. I hope you enjoy reading about these place, too.

The last book in the trilogy is now being written and will cover the years 1522-1536. Titled ‘The Falcon’s Fall’ it completes the story of Anne’s life.

In my spare time, I love travelling, rambling and visiting historic houses, as well as reading and researching the Tudor period.

I read this and the first book back to back, and I really enjoy them. Both books are well written and well researched. If you like Tutor family novels these will be a great option. Anne is well written and the author covers her early years with a depth not found in other novels. Especially the characters around her, like Queen Claude. Usually books about Anne only interact with them lightly. Richards really goes deep and it adds wonderfully to the narrative. In short, great read and I look forward to the next in the series. Please publish it soon!!

This book did not flow for me, as easily or as swiftly as the first. I had a difficult time keeping up with who was who in the French court and lost interest in all the journeys from place to place as the all seemed to be much of the same. However, as much as Anne has always intrigued me, I will look forward to her days back in England if the author is so kind to share as she imagines. I did learn much a lot about this time in history.

I am totally enamored with the Tudor’s and King Henry VIII and all of his unfortunate wives. This book describes Anne Boleyn before she was the Kings wife. It is so fraught with inner palace trysts, galas, lies, deceit, people who have absolutely no understanding of real people. I know this is how kingdoms were run, but there is no story here, it is just endless palace intrigue and minutia detail of what everyone wore. I liked no one. There were so many people with the same names that I lost interest and gave up on trying to follow what little story there was. Anne was portrayed as a self serving woman as was her whole family. No redeeming qualities. I am about 3/4 thru and am contemplating not finishing the book. I do not recommend it, unless you just love fabric, jewels, backstabbing, domineering mothers, and philandering no substance husbands. Boring.

I thought I knew a lot about Anne Boleyn and although this is a fictional account of Anne's life in the courts of Burgundy and France, it is so rich in detail and tone that it is entirely believable. Ms Richards writes in a fluent and lively style combining historical fact and a novelist's creativity in a pacey and plausible account of the young Anne's preparation for her extraordinary life as Henry's second Queen.

The writer has a view of Anne Boleyn that is not very appealing, Eric Ives (professor of Tudor History) wrote an excellent book on Anne taken from factual historical writings of her. This book was very disappointing.
