A Gothic cathedral and the priory are again at the center of this epic novel set in the same town of Kingsbridge, as "The Pillars of the earth," but two centuries later after completion of the cathedral. Proponents of the old ways fiercely battle those with progressive minds, as the Black Death captures the city. In 1327, four children from the city witness two men killed in the nearby forest. As adults, their lives will be braided together by ambition, love, greed, and revenge.
