Publisher's summary

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.

WOW! Amazing story!

before this book I just completed listening to another author's version of Stonehenge but I don't think he has much of an imagination for culture and what drives people's motives. I really appreciate Bernard Cornwell's ability to take the facts that are known and weave together strands that take shape in a powerful story like this. Other authors might be driven just by telling stories of battles and fighting but Mr Cornwell digs deep into the selfish and altruistic motives of individual characters that shape the conflict and thus drives historical shifts through the ages. Obviously this is a work of fiction, but is it true work of art! Also loved all the books about Uhtrid!

Not his best work

Narrator was outstanding. Story was not Cromwell’s best but still a great fiction story about how the stones of Stonehenge were constructed.

Riveting

I have been to Stonehenge... it is easy to imagine that it was built the way this story goes...
The author keeps you intrigued until the end.

Not Cornwell’s best story

Cornwell took what we know of Stonehenge and wove a story, but in many places it was unconvincing and seemed too far fetched to really follow. Not his best work.

Very interesting take on the construction of Stonehenge.

Very long, but a very interesting take on the way Stonehenge could have been constructed. Since no one living was there and there are no written records...

Uninspired characters

It was ok. Not his best work. Interesting though. No compelling characters and a round about narrative.

Another great one by Cornwell

Bernard Cornwell is master of bringing history to life. He is able to allow his readers to live the historical events through his stories.

Great story- great narration

A great stand-alone story from an author famous for his serials. Narration made it a pleasure to listen to.

Fantastic Rendition

As the story was told, I could imagine that this was how Stonehenge was built.
