The Beheading Game by Rebecca Lehmann
What if Anne Boleyn woke up in her coffin the day after her beheading and plotted her revenge? (And also, what if she was bisexual?) In this take on her story, Anne sews her head back on and teams up with a sex worker, Alice, to kill Henry VIII. It’s not just out of spite: Anne is also ensuring that her daughter, Elizabeth, remains the heir to the throne. As Anne and Alice work together, they grow closer, and Anne gets a glimpse of life outside of the golden cage of being a royal. —Danika Ellis
