On the day after Halloween, in the year 1327, four children
slip away from the cathedral city of Kingsbridge. They are a
thief, a bully, a boy genius and a girl who wants to be a
doctor. In the forest they see two men killed.
As adults, their lives will be braided together by ambition,
love, greed and revenge. They will see prosperity and famine,
plague and war. One boy will travel the world but come home
in the end; the other will be a powerful, corrupt nobleman.
One girl will defy the might of the medieval church; the other
will pursue an impossible love. And always they will live under
the long shadow of the unexplained killing they witnessed on
that fateful childhood day.
World Without End is followed by the third of Ken Follett's
Kingsbridge novels, A Column of Fire.
Ken Follett was born in Cardiff, Wales. His first thriller, the wartime spy drama Eye of the Needle, became an international bestseller and has sold over 10 million copies. He then astonished everyone with his first historical novel, The Pillars of the Earth, the story of the building of a medieval cathedral, which went on to become one of the most beloved books of the twentieth century. One of the most popular authors in the world, his many books including the Kingsbridge series and the Century trilogy - a body of work which together chronicles over a thousand years of history - and his latest novel Never - which envisages how World War III could happen - have sold more than 188 million copies.
