| Summary: | "...the story of Philip, prior of Kingsbridge, a devout and resourceful monk driven to build the greatest Gothic cathedral the world has known...of Tom, the mason who becomes his architect--a man divided in his soul...of the beautiful Lady Aliena, haunted by a secret shame...and of a struggle between good and evil that will turn the church against state and brother against brother. A spellbinding epic tale of ambition, anarchy, and absolute power set against the sprawling medieval canvas of twelfth-century England."--Container. |
