World Without End (Kingsbridge, #2)

by Ken Follett · Kingsbridge series

Two centuries after the cathedral's completion, Kingsbridge faces the Black Death, the Hundred Years' War, and the eternal struggle between progress and tradition. Four interconnected lives—a visionary builder, a rebellious noblewoman, a conflicted monk, and a young physician—navigate love, ambition, and survival in a world on the brink of transformation. Follett crafts another sweeping medieval epic where architecture becomes destiny and human passion shapes history.
