About the Books
Ken Follett's Kingsbridge series is anchored by the fictional cathedral town of Kingsbridge, England, and follows generations of builders, merchants, monks, and rulers whose lives intersect with the town's growth across nearly a thousand years of history. The saga begins chronologically with The Evening and the Morning, set at the close of the Dark Ages, before The Pillars of the Earth carries readers into the twelfth century and the decades-long effort to build a great cathedral amid civil war and famine. World Without End leaps forward to the fourteenth century, following four children who grow into adults shaped by plague, war, and political upheaval. A Column of Fire moves into the volatile religious and political landscape of sixteenth-century Tudor England and Europe, while The Armour of Light, the newest addition to the series, is set against the backdrop of industrial change and revolutionary unrest at the end of the eighteenth century. Across all five novels, Follett explores how ordinary people navigate extraordinary historical forces, weaving intricate personal dramas into meticulously researched backdrops of architecture, commerce, war, and faith. Each book stands on its own as a complete story, but together they form a rich, continuous portrait of a single English town evolving through the centuries. This paperback collection brings the entire saga together for readers who want to experience Follett's masterful blend of history and storytelling in the order and format that suits them best.
