An epic tale of good and evil, love and hate - the prehistory to Ken Follett's worldwide bestseller "The Pillars of the Earth."
England in the year 997. At dawn, young boat builder Edgar waits for his beloved. He is the first to spot the danger on the horizon: dragon boats. Everyone knows that the Vikings bring death and destruction to land and people.
Edgar does everything he can to warn the citizens of Combe. But he arrives too late. The town is nearly completely destroyed. Many people die, and Edgar's family is not spared. The boat builders' yard burns down. Edgar has only one escape: an abandoned farmhouse in a hamlet far from the coast.
While Edgar fights for survival, others are vying for wealth and power in England. Among them are the equally ambitious and ruthless Bishop Wynstan, the idealistic monk Aldred, and Ragna, the daughter of a Norman count.
Edgar, Ragna, Wynstan, and Aldred - their fates are inextricably linked to each other and to their time. Their land, the England of the Anglo-Saxons, is a society full of violence. A society where even the king struggles to enforce law and justice.
Together with Edgar, Ragna, Wynstan, and Aldred, we experience the transition from dark times to the English Middle Ages - and the rise of an insignificant hamlet to the place Kingsbridge, which we have come to know and love since "The Pillars of the Earth.".
