About the Books
This collection gathers three of Ken Follett's celebrated historical epics, each set generations apart yet bound together by the fictional town of Kingsbridge and its landmark cathedral.

World Without End moves the story forward two centuries, following four Kingsbridge children into adulthood as the Black Death and social upheaval reshape their town. A Column of Fire completes the collection in Elizabethan England, where religious conflict between Catholics and Protestants ignites espionage and political intrigue stretching across Europe. Throughout, Follett pairs exhaustive historical research with thriller-like pacing, making Kingsbridge itself feel like a character that evolves across centuries.
