Synopsis
By the #1 New York Times bestselling author behind the Starz original series The White Queen , a riveting new Tudor tale featuring King Henry VIII's sixth wife Kateryn Parr, the first English queen to publish under her own name. Why would a woman marry a serial killer? Because she cannot refuse... Kateryn Parr, a thirty-year-old widow in a secret affair with a new lover, has no choice when a man old enough to be her father who has buried four wives--King Henry VIII--commands her to marry him. Kateryn has no doubt about the danger she faces: the previous queen lasted sixteen months, the one before barely half a year. But Henry adores his new bride and Kateryn's trust in him grows as she unites the royal family, creates a radical study circle at the heart of the court, and rules the kingdom as Regent. But is this enough to keep her safe? A leader of religious reform and the first woman to publish in English, Kateryn stands out as an independent woman with a mind of her own. But she cannot save the Protestants, under threat for their faith, and Henry's dangerous gaze turns on her. The traditional churchmen and rivals for power accuse her of heresy--the punishment is death by fire and the king's name is on the warrant... From an author who has described all of Henry's queens comes a deeply intimate portrayal of the last: a woman who longed for passion, power, and education at the court of a medieval killer., By the #1 New York Times bestselling author behind the Starz original series The White Queen , a riveting new Tudor tale featuring King Henry VIII's sixth wife Kateryn Parr, the first English queen to publish under her own name.

I ordered a 100 pack of 1/2 amp fuses and they arrived today, the bag of 100 sealed and exactly as shown in the listing. My order was packed properly with cardboard taped around the fuses before being put in a bubble mailer to ensure no breakage. Good packaging job. Would buy from this seller again.

- i***i (27)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Último añoCompra verificadaAlthough they are listed as new items, the manufacturer date was 2017. One came with a dead battery, but that's no big issue. Easily resolved by going to the store. Both of them programmed in and work properly, as far as I can tell they were never actually used, but like previously stated the date code said 2017. I do definitely recommend this seller, he shipped fast and accurately.DSC PowerG Wireless 4-Button Panic, Key Fob Compatible PowerSeries & Neo PG9939 (#146264952565)
