About this product

Product Information

From New York Times bestselling author Bernard Cornwell, the tale of three brothers and of their rivalry that created the mysterious Stonehenge. One summer's day, a dying stranger carrying great wealth in gold comes to the settlement of Ratharryn. The three sons of Ratharryn's chief each perceive the great gift in a different way. The eldest, Lengar, the warrior, harnesses his murderous ambition to be a ruler and take great power for his tribe. Camaban becomes a great visionary and feared wise man, and it is his vision that will force the youngest brother, Saban, to create the great temple on the green hill where the gods will appear on earth. Saban' s love for Aurenna, the sun bride whose destiny is to die for the gods, finally brings the rivalries of the brothers to a head. But it is also his skills that will build the vast temple, a place for the gods, certainly, but also a place that will confirm for ever the supreme power of the tribe that built it.

    Plagued by authorial intrusion and omniscient point of view.

    The author tells a great story, but really doesn't have a grasp of the mechanics of storytelling. For instance, normally a paragraph change is used to signal a change in locale, time, or some other event that would be confusing if it suddenly occurred without a paragraph change. But Cornwell will suddenly change the scene or time in the middle of a paragraph, which is confusing. Another thing he does is shift point of view abruptly to an omniscient point of view. At one point, we are in a character's head, seeing what that character is seeing and hearing their thoughts, then suddenly the author will comment that "on the other side of the woods, unseen, the enemy was assembling an army. How could the character possibly know that? This is the author talking, not the character. The problem ...

    Ancient architecture 101...,

    No matter how you slice it, the book is about how to build a stone temple in ancient times. There is a story behind this, an interesting and complex tale of people from all over present-day England, surrounding three brothers, sons of a chieftan, and their aspirations, plottings, dreams and failures. There is travel throughout the ancient island with Cornwell's requisite description of place and people, but it still comes back to building the stone temple; so the title suggests, so the book goes... This is not, in my humble opinion (and I am a big fan of Cornwell), Bernard's best work. It is interesting enough. There is treachery, murder, rivalry, betrayal, lust, insanity, god-worship, slavery, battle, bravery, courage and cowardice, but all offered in less heaping helpings than usually ...

    An inspiring tall of ancient Stonehenge

    I enjoyed the trip to the ancient past. Letting the imagination of one inspiring author (Bernard Cornwell)guide you through a tale of love, rejection, revenge, and honor. I very much enjoyed this book and recommend it to everyone. I decide to buy this book because I am a big fan of the Author, and there is no where he can not take you.
