A Column of Fire will delight long time fans of the Kingsbridge Series and is the perfect introduction to Ken Follett for new listeners. The ancient stones of Kingsbridge Castle look down on a city divided by religious conflict. It’s 1558 in England and as power shifts precariously between the Catholic Church and the Protestant Reformation, the monarchy and the common people clash, testing friendship, loyalties, and love.

Ned Willard wants to marry Margery Fitzgerald because he loves her. But when the lovers are forced to live apart because of the religious conflict dividing their country, Ned goes to London to work for Princess Elizabeth (Elizabeth II). When she becomes queen all of Europe will turn against England.
“Set during one of history’s most tumultuous and revolutionary times, A Column of Fire is one of Follett’s best and most ambitious books yet.”
The Book Guide® Editor
The real enemy, then as now, is not religion itself but religious extremism. The real battle pits those who believe in tolerance, compromise, and freedom against those who would impose their ideas onto others regardless of the costs.
