International best-selling writer Ken Follett has enthralled millions of supporters with the first two catalogs of his Kingsbridge series, The Pillars of the Earth and World Without End. The saga now persists with Follett's impressive new epic, A Column of Fireplace. In 1558, the early stones of Kingsbridge Cathedral look down upon a city torn aside by religious discord. As power in England shifts precariously between Catholics and Protestants, high guidelines clash bloodily with camaraderie, devotion, and love. Ned Willard desires nothing more than to marry Margery Fitzgerald. However when the lovers end up on opposing edges of the spiritual divide sweeping across the country, Ned goes to be employed by Princess Elizabeth. When she becomes queen, all European countries turns against England. The shrewd, driven young monarch sets up the country's first magic formula service, to give her early caution of assassination plots, rebellions, and invasion ideas. Over a turbulent half century, the love between Ned and Margery seems doomed as extremism sparks violence from Edinburgh to Geneva. Elizabeth clings precariously to her throne and her guidelines, protected by a small, dedicated band of resourceful spies and courageous magic formula agents. The real enemies, then as now, aren't the rival religions. The true fight pitches those who have confidence in tolerance and compromise resistant to the tyrants who would impose their ideas on everybody else - whatever the cost. Established during one of the most turbulent and revolutionary times in history, A Column of Fireplace is one of Follett's most exciting and ambitious works yet and is ideal both for longtime supporters of the Kingsbridge series as well as listeners not used to Ken Follett.
