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.
