Beskrivelse
A gripping tale set against the backdrop of ancient Stonehenge, following a flint miner, a visionary priestess, and the creation of a monument that will shape a civilization.
An epic journey into the mysteries and human stories behind the building of Stonehenge.
From Ken Follett, the bestselling author of The Pillars of the Earth, comes a powerful new novel that blends history and heart. Seft is a skilled flint miner who travels across the Great Plain in the sweltering summer heat to take part in the Midsummer Rite. There, he hopes to trade his stone and find Neen, the woman he loves. Neen’s family lives in comfort, offering Seft a chance to escape his harsh life with his father and brothers in their herding community.
Neen’s sister, Joia, serves as a priestess with a remarkable vision and natural leadership. As a child, she is captivated by the Midsummer ceremony and dreams of a magnificent monument built from the largest stones on Earth. But tensions rise among the tribes of the Great Plain-the herders, farmers, and woodlanders grow distrustful of one another as drought devastates the land.
Joia’s dream of a great stone circle uniting the divided tribes inspires Seft, and together they dedicate themselves to this monumental task. Yet, when brutal violence erupts, it sparks open conflict that threatens everything. Ambitious in scope and rich in detail, Circle of Days invites readers to experience one of history’s greatest enigmas through the eyes of unforgettable characters.
