A Description: In the twelfth-century feudal England, a master builder plans to erect a towering cathedral. But, unfortunately, he lives in a world of rigid class structures where corrupt kings and queens rule and the common man shows eternal promise. Around the construction site swirls a cast of characters in a story of betrayal, revenge, and love. International best-selling author Ken Follett masterfully recreates the landscape of medieval England in a pageantry of the ravages of war and the rhythms of daily life.
