A Column of Fire

Author: Ken Follett

In this sweeping epic, Ken Follett transports readers to 16th-century England, a time of religious turmoil and political intrigue. Young Ned Willard finds himself caught between warring factions as he navigates love, loyalty, and faith. Follett’s vivid prose brings to life the sights and sounds of Tudor England, from bustling marketplaces to opulent palaces. I was captivated by the complex characters and their intertwining fates, feeling as if I were walking alongside them through history. A masterful blend of fact and fiction that kept me turning pages late into the night.

Sometimes you have to do a thing in order to know you should not have done it.
