#1 New York Times Bestseller "Absorbing . . . impossible to
resist." -The Washington Post As Europe erupts, can one young spy
protect his queen? Ken Follett takes us deep into the treacherous
world of powerful monarchs, intrigue, murder, and treason with his
magnificent epic, A Column of Fire-the chronological latest in the
Kingsbridge series, following The Pillars of the Earth, World
Without End, and the prequel, The Evening and the Morning. 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 resourceful
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.
Exciting and ambitious, and set during one of the most turbulent
and revolutionary times in history, A Column of Fire will delight
longtime fans of the Kingsbridge series and serve as the perfect
introduction for readers new to Ken Follett.
