"International bestselling author Ken Follett has enthralled millions of readers with The Pillars of the Earth and World Without End, two stories of the Middle Ages set in the fictional city of Kingtsbridge. The saga now continues with Follett's magnificent new epic, A Column of Fire. In 1558, the ancient stones of Kingsbridge Cathedral look down on a city torn apart by religious conflict. As power in England shifts precariously between Catholics and Protestants, royalty and commoners clash, testing friendship, loyalty, and love. Ned Willard wants nothing more than to marry Margery Fitzgerald. But when the lovers find themselves on opposing sides of the religious conflict dividing the country, Ned goes to work for Princess Elizabeth. When she becomes queen, all 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. Over a turbulent half century, the love between Ned and Margery seems doomed as extremism sparks violence from Edinburgh to Geneva. Elizabeth clings to her throne and her principles, protected by a small, dedicated group of rresourceful spies and courageous secret agents. 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 what the cost. Set during one of the most turbulent and revolutioinary times in history, A Column of Fire is one of Follett's most exciting and ambitious works yet. It will delight longtime fans of the Kingsbridge series and is the perfect introduction for readers new to Ken Follett." - from the inner front jacker flap.

Kenneth Martin Follett, CBE, FRSL (born 5 June 1949) is a British author of thrillers and historical novels who has sold more than 160 million copies of his works. Many of his books have achieved high ranking on best seller lists. For example, in the US, many reached the number-one position on the New York Times Best Seller list, including Triple (1979), The Key to Rebecca (1980), Lie Down with Lions (1985), A Dangerous Fortune (1993), World Without End (2007), Fall of Giants (2010), Winter of the World (2012), and Edge of Eternity (2014). After three years in Cardiff, he returned to London as a general-assignment reporter for the Evening News. Finding the work unchallenging, he left journalism for publishing and became, by the late 1970s, deputy managing director of the London publisher Everest Books. He began writing fiction as a hobby. Later, he said, he began writing books when he needed extra money to fix his car, and the publishers' advance a fellow journalist had been paid for a thriller was the sum required for the repairs. Success came gradually at first, but the 1978 publication of Eye of the Needle, which became an international bestseller and sold over 10 million copies, made him both wealthy and internationally famous. The Evening and the Morning, is a prequel to The Pillars of the Earth. Set in the decade around 1000 AD - in the so-called Dark Ages - the story "concerns the gradual creation of the town of Kingsbridge and of the many people - priests, nobles, peasants, the enslaved - who played significant roles". As such, the book provides "a solid underpinning to the later installments of the Kingsbridge series". Derived from a Kirkus review: Murder, sex, and unholy ambition threaten to overwhelm the glimmers of light in Dark Ages England. A Viking raid in 997 C.E. kills Edgar's one true love, Sungifu, and he vows never to love anotherâ"but come on, he's only 18. The young man is a talented builder who has strong personal values. Lady Ragna is a beautiful French noblewoman who comes to Shiring, marries the local ealdorman, Wilwulf, and starts a family. Much of the action takes place in Dreng's Ferry, a tiny hamlet with 'half a dozen houses and a church.' Dreng is a venal, vicious ferryman who hurls his slave's newborn child into a river and is only one of several characters whose death readers will eagerly root for. Bishop Wynstan lusts to become an archbishop and will crush anyone who stands in his way. He clashes with Ragna as she announces she is lord of the Vale of Outhen. 'Wait!' he says to the people, 'Are you going to be ruled by a mere woman?' Aldred is a kindly monk who harbors an unrequited love for Edgar, who in turn loves Ragna but knows it's hopeless: Although widowed after Wilwulf's sudden death, she remains above Edgar's station. There are plenty of other colorful people in this richly told, complex story: slaves, rapists, fornicators, nobles, murderers, kind and decent people, and men of the cloth with 'Whore's Leprosy.' The plot at its core, though, is boy meets girlâ"ok, Edgar meets Ragnaâ"and a whole lot of trouble stands in the way of their happiness. They are attractive and sympathetic protagonists, and more's the pity they're stuck in the 11th century. Readers may guess the ending well before Page 900â"yes, it's that longâ"but Follett is a powerful storyteller who will hold their attention anyway. Follett's fans will enjoy this jaunt through the days before England was merry.
