About the Books
The Century Trilogy opens with Fall of Giants, set in 1911 as the Williams family of Welsh coal miners becomes entangled with the aristocratic Fitzherberts on the eve of King George V's coronation. As war, revolution, and the suffrage movement reshape Europe and Russia, five families across Wales, England, Germany, Russia, and America find their fates permanently intertwined. Winter of the World carries the saga into the 1930s and 1940s, opening in a Berlin gripped by the rise of Nazism, where young Carla von Ulrich watches family and friends navigate fear, moral compromise, and quiet resistance as the world edges toward a second global war. Edge of Eternity closes the trilogy in the Cold War era, sweeping from the American South to Siberia and 1960s London, as a new generation confronts superpower rivalry and fights for individual freedom. Follett's meticulous historical research anchors deeply personal storylines throughout, making this collection a satisfying entry point for new readers and a convenient complete set for longtime fans.
