★一頭闖入匯聚一代妖后安妮．博林 ( Anne Boleyn )、亨利八世 ( Henry VIII )、新舊教信仰鬥爭的英國都鐸王朝，他投注性命，只為登上權力的巔峰！
1520年代的英格蘭，災禍一觸即發。英王亨利八世與凱瑟琳王后結褵已十數年，但膝下始終沒有男性繼承人。亨利八世開始擔心，英格蘭未來會為了繼承權問題而引發內戰。
此時，宮廷內出現一位年輕女子，工於心計的她，把亨利八世迷得神魂顛倒。樞機主教沃爾西為了國王的離婚案費盡心思，百般周旋，卻始終無法突破僵局，最後遭到罷黜、含恨而終。出身寒微的克倫威爾 ( Thomas Cromwell ) 趁勢而起，他足智多謀、鐵石心腸、不擇手段，精力旺盛得像魔鬼。
然而，亨利八世卻是個生性反覆無常的君王。在那差之毫釐，失之千里，一小步錯就可能人頭落地的時代，克倫威爾該如何在腥風血雨的宮廷中求生？
