Maggiori informazioni sul libro
As the Roman Empire declined, Britain regressed, with crumbling villas replaced by simple wooden dwellings and a significant loss of technology, including pottery essential for food storage. Literacy dwindled, marking a slow and painful progression during what is often referred to as the Dark Ages. However, change eventually began to emerge. In this prequel to a monumental saga, three lives become intertwined against this backdrop. A young boatbuilder faces upheaval when Vikings raid his home. A Norman noblewoman, marrying for love, relocates to a land where customs starkly contrast her own, revealing a brutal struggle for power. Meanwhile, a monk aspires to transform his modest abbey into a renowned center of learning, only to confront a cunning bishop determined to amass wealth and influence. This narrative unfolds an epic journey through a historical landscape filled with ambition, rivalry, and the complexities of human emotion. Set in England at the dawn of the Middle Ages, the story concludes where the previous tale begins, enriching the internationally bestselling Kingsbridge series with an extraordinary new chapter.
