YAYoung Royals series.
From her cell in the Tower of London, Anne Boleyn recounts what has led to her pending execution. At age six, she was sent to be trained at court in the Netherlands, a year later she is asked to join the court of the French queen--where she learns how to play the game of courtly love--and then perfects her game at Henry VIII's court. The first-person narration is engaging, though the believability of secondary characters is limited.
