    It is the fifth book in the Kingsbridge series but it is not as successful as the first four. It can also be read independently; it is not necessary to have read the other four books. This applies to all the books in the series; they can be read independently.

Description & Specifications

A scent of revolution hangs in the air
1792. A tyrannical government is determined to elevate England to a powerful commercial empire. In France, Bonaparte begins his rise to power, and amid the broader climate of turmoil and conflicts, neighboring countries are on high alert.

Kingsbridge on the brink of social conflicts
Unprecedented industrial changes sweep the country, plunging the workers of the Kingsbridge textile mills, who had previously prospered, into poverty and despair. Uncontrolled modernization and new dangerous machines render their jobs obsolete and unnecessary, increasing unemployment and tearing families apart.

Tyranny on the horizon
Now, as an increasingly widespread war seems inevitable, through the parallel stories of a small group of people from Kingsbridge, such as the worker Sal Clitherow, the weaver David Soweler, and Kit, Sal's clever son, the struggles of a generation thirsty for knowledge and progress come to life, fighting for a future free from all oppression.

More than thirty years ago, Ken Follett's most popular novel, The Pillars of the Earth, was published. Now, with this new thrilling addition to the Kingsbridge saga, we find ourselves on yet another battlefield witnessing the conflict between compassion and greed, love and hate, progress and tradition. And through the hardships, passions, and adventures of its heroes, we see with renewed eyes the momentous changes that shook the world in 19th century Europe.
