Overview
This five-book Kingsbridge Novels collection brings together Ken Follett's sweeping historical saga in one brand-new paperback set. Beginning with the Dark Ages prequel The Evening and the Morning and running through the medieval cathedral-building drama of The Pillars of the Earth and World Without End, into the Elizabethan intrigue of A Column of Fire and the 18th-century revolution of The Armour of Light, readers follow the fictional city of Kingsbridge across eight centuries of ambition, faith, love and conflict.
About the Books
Ken Follett's Kingsbridge saga is one of the most beloved historical fiction series of modern times, selling millions of copies worldwide. It opens chronologically with The Evening and the Morning, set in 997 CE as England faces Welsh and Viking incursions and a fledgling settlement fights to survive amid lawlessness and shifting power. The Pillars of the Earth then follows mason Tom Builder's dream of constructing a great cathedral against a backdrop of civil war, famine and religious strife in twelfth-century England. World Without End continues two centuries later, when four children witness a murder in the forest outside Kingsbridge, an act that shapes their intertwined destinies of ambition, love, greed and revenge. A Column of Fire moves the story into the volatile Elizabethan era, following Ned Willard as religious and political turmoil threatens his homeland and the woman he loves. Finally, The Armour of Light closes the set in 1792, as industrialisation, war with France and the shadow of Napoleon Bonaparte transform Kingsbridge and its people. Together, these five novels showcase Follett's meticulous historical research, richly drawn characters and page-turning plotting, offering readers a complete, immersive journey through the centuries via one enduring fictional city.
About the Author

After further best-sellers in that genre through the 1980s, he moved into historical fiction with The Pillars of the Earth (1989), an epic tale of twelfth-century England that became his best-known work and launched the Kingsbridge series. He has continued writing across both genres ever since, including the Century Trilogy, and his books have sold in over 80 countries worldwide.
