Autumn of 1327. Four children slip away from the town of Kingsbridge. A boy born to be an architect, a boy thirsty for power, a girl who dreams of becoming a doctor, a girl from the outcast. They go to play in the forest. But there, they unwittingly become witnesses to a murder and accomplices in a secret that they must keep at all costs...
In the years to come, all four will experience prosperity, hunger, the horror of the plague, and war. One boy will travel the world but will return to Kingsbridge. The other will become a powerful and corrupt nobleman. Of the girls, one will challenge the terrifying omnipotence of the Church, while the other will be consumed by love.
Their lives, defined by ambition, love, greed, and vengeance, will take very different paths, yet they will remain inextricably linked in the heavy shadow of the oath they took that fateful day in 1327...
Ken Follett, who enchanted readers around the world with The Pillars of the Earth, an exhilarating epic set in 12th century England, transports us back to Kingsbridge, two centuries later. The imposing cathedral still dominates the town. And the descendants of those who built it are preparing to live their own destiny...
