About this product

Product Information

The saga that has enthralled the millions of readers of The Pillars of the Earth and World Without End now continues with Ken Follett's magnificent, gripping A Column of Fire. Christmas 1558, and young Ned Willard returns home to Kingsbridge to find his world has changed. The ancient stones of Kingsbridge Cathedral look down on a city torn by religious hatred. Europe is in turmoil as high principles clash bloodily with friendship, loyalty and love, and Ned soon finds himself on the opposite side from the girl he longs to marry, Margery Fitzgerald. Then Elizabeth Tudor becomes queen and all of Europe turns against England. The shrewd, determined young monarch sets up the country's first secret service to give her early warning of assassination plots, rebellions and invasion plans. Elizabeth knows that alluring, headstrong Mary Queen of Scots lies in wait in Paris. Part of a brutally ambitious French family, Mary has been proclaimed the rightful ruler of England, with her own supporters scheming to get rid of the new queen. Over a turbulent half-century, the love between Ned and Margery seems doomed, as extremism sparks violence from Edinburgh to Geneva. With Elizabeth clinging precariously to her throne and her principles, protected by a small, dedicated group of resourceful spies and courageous secret agents, it becomes clear that the real enemies - then as now - are not the rival religions. The true battle pitches those who believe in tolerance and compromise against the tyrants who would impose their ideas on everyone else - no matter the cost.

  • So interesting, really brings to life the historical era.

    This book is one of a set of four about the history of building cathedrals from 897 to 1500s. Books are so interesting, unable to put books down. Really bring to life the life and times of people in those years, the rulers and the poor people. Would highly recommend the whole set!

  • Ken Follet books

    Book two of three books but you can read them separately, a brilliant story, very historic and based around real events. This one I bought as a present along with the third book. There is also just out a prequel that is not to miss!

  • Recognisable but good evolution

    Follett maintains the the integrity of his portrayal of Kingsbridge in this sequel to The Pillars of the Earth. Set some two hundred years later allows for new characters and story lines to arrive rather than a simple extension to well used characters and plots in the previous book.
