It is 997 CE, the end of the Dark Ages. The king's grip on the
country is fragile and chaos reigns. A young boat builder
dreams of a better future after a devastating Viking raid
shatters the life he hoped for.
A Norman noblewoman follows her husband to a new land
only to find her life there shockingly different; and a capable
monk at Shiring Abbey has a vision of transforming his humble
home into a centre of learning admired throughout Europe.
Now, with England at the dawn of the Middle Ages, these
three people will each come into dangerous conflict with a
ruthless bishop, who will do anything to increase his wealth
and power, in an epic tale of ambition, rivalry, love and hate.
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.
