The “riveting”(The Washington Post) #1 international bestseller—now in paperback in the U.S.
In the tradition of Ken Follett’s The Pillars of the Earth, here is a thrilling historical novel of friendship and revenge, plague and hope, love and war, set in the golden age of 14th-century Barcelona. Arnau Estanyol arrives in Barcelona and joins the powerful guild of stone-workers building the magnificent cathedral of Santa Maria del Mar, while his adoptive brother Joan studies to become a priest. As Arnau prospers, he secretly falls in love with a forbidden woman. When he is betrayed and hauled before the Inquisitor, he finds himself face-to-face with his own brother. Will he lose his life just as his beloved cathedral is finally completed, or will his brother spare him?
“Believable and enthralling...so beautifully structured that the last sixty pages detonate like a string of firecrackers.”
—The Washington Post
“An absorbing epic...Falcones’s rich portrait of medieval society is fascinating.”
—Publishers Weekly
