Edgar, a young boatbuilder, loses almost everything in a brutal Viking attack and is forced to rebuild his life from nothing, discovering resilience and quiet ambition he never knew he had. Ragna, a headstrong Norman noblewoman, follows her new husband across the sea to England only to find a hostile, unfamiliar world that tests her courage at every turn. Meanwhile a idealistic monk dreams of turning his humble monastery into a great centre of learning that could rival anything in Europe. Their fates become entangled with a ruthless, power-hungry bishop determined to crush anyone who threatens his grip on the region. Spanning decades of ambition, betrayal, faith and survival, this novel lays the groundwork for the world Follett later made famous in The Pillars of the Earth. Fans of the original Kingsbridge novels will recognise the seeds of the town, its people and its politics being sown here, while new readers will find a completely satisfying, standalone historical epic. Follett's trademark blend of meticulous research and page-turning storytelling makes the early medieval period feel vivid, immediate and utterly gripping from the very first chapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEpic, immersive prequel to the multi-million-copy bestselling Pillars of the Earth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRich, well-researched depiction of Dark Age England\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultiple interwoven storylines with memorable, flawed characters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for historical fiction fans, book clubs and long reads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new paperback, perfect for gifting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKen Follett is one of the world's most successful authors, with more than 175 million copies of his books sold worldwide.
