Circle of Days The epic new novel from the No. 1 bestselling author of The Pillars of the Earth

Ken Follett launches the Circle of Days series with its first volume, a historical thriller set in a Neolithic world on the Great Plain. Seft, a gifted flint miner, seeks a new life with Neen and her herder family at the Midsummer Rite. Neen’s sister Joia, a visionary priestess, dreams of uniting the divided tribes to build a massive stone circle, the monument that will become Stonehenge, and define a civilization.

But as drought grips the land, old grudges between herders, farmers, and woodlanders ignite. A brutal act of violence tips the region into open warfare, threatening Joia’s monumental vision and Seft’s newfound hope. This sweeping adventure weaves action, suspense, and deep historical texture into an epic tale of ambition and survival.
