Description

From Ken Follett, the #1 bestselling author of The Pillars of the Earth, comes an enthralling new historical epic that brings the ancient world to vivid life. Circle of Days plunges readers onto the Great Plain, where drought stretches across the land and mistrust threatens to tear apart the herders, farmers, and woodlanders. At the center of the conflict are two unforgettable characters: Seft, a gifted flint miner desperate to escape a brutal home, and Joia, a visionary priestess who dares to imagine a monument that will unite the divided tribes.

As Joia’s dream of a great stone circle takes shape, it becomes both a symbol of hope and a spark for open warfare. Follett masterfully blends action, adventure, and suspense with meticulous historical detail, exploring how one of civilization’s greatest wonders-Stonehenge-might have been built. With its sweeping narrative and deeply human stakes, Circle of Days is a tour de force of prehistoric fiction.

Already an instant Sunday Times bestseller, this novel marks the triumphant start of a new series that will captivate readers of epic historical sagas. Immerse yourself in a world of ritual, ambition, and survival, where the construction of a monument becomes a fight for the future of an entire people.
