Return to Kingsbridge, in an era before the Pillars of the Earth...

We are in 997 AD, in the late Early Middle Ages. England is under attack from the Welsh in the west and the Vikings in the east. Life is harsh and those who hold power wield it violently, interpreting justice as it suits them - often against the will of the king. With the royal authority vulnerable and without clear laws, chaos and bloodshed reign.
In this turbulent time, three people will unexpectedly see their lives intersect. A young shipbuilder loses everything when the Vikings destroy the city he lived in, forcing him to start his life anew in a small village where he feels like an outsider... A Norman noblewoman marries out of love and follows her husband to a new homeland with unknown customs, where she discovers that a ruthless power struggle is raging around her and realizes that one wrong move could be her downfall... A monk dreams of transforming his humble abbey into a renowned center of learning throughout Europe.
In the dawn of the Middle Ages, these three individuals will dangerously clash with a ruthless bishop who will do anything to increase his wealth and power.
