Circle of Days

About the book

A FLINT MINER WITH A GIFT

Seft, a skilled flint miner, traverses the Great Plain under the scorching summer sun to partake in the rituals marking the beginning of a new year. He is on his way to the Midsummer Fair to trade his stones and seek out Neen, the girl of his affections. Neen's family offers Seft a chance to escape his oppressive father and brothers in their herder community, where they enjoy prosperity.

A PRIESTESS WHO BELIEVES THE IMPOSSIBLE

Joia, Neen's sister, is a priestess with a bold vision and exceptional leadership skills. From a young age, she is captivated by the Midsummer ceremony and dreams of creating a magnificent new monument using the largest stones in the world. But trouble looms in the hills and woodlands of the Great Plain.

A MONUMENT THAT WILL DEFINE A CIVILIZATION

Joia's vision of a grand stone circle, built by the diverse tribes of the Plain, inspires Seft and becomes their shared purpose in life. However, as drought grips the land, tension rises among the herders, farmers, and woodlanders—resulting in a brutal act of violence that sparks open conflict.

With its ambitious scope, Circle of Days invites you to join renowned storyteller Ken Follett on a journey to unravel one of the greatest enigmas of our time: Stonehenge.
