Synopsis
In 2000 B.C., a case of sibling rivalry among the sons of Hengall, the chief in a place called Ratharryn, gives rise to the building of a temple to a new deity, the sun god Slaol. The temple is an immense circle of stones that taxes the ingenuity and strength of several generations of Ratharryn men. The result, of course, is Stonehenge, which Cornwell recreates in this vivid novel, along with the imagined world in which it was constructed.

Publisher's Note
The original construction of the ancient English monument forms the backdrop for three men--tyrant and patricide Lengar; his bastard brother Camaban, a sorcerer; and Saban, who must reverse the horrors of the past to realize the vision of Stonehenge.

Industry Reviews
"Whatever the period, count on Cornwell to serve up the details on which verisimilitude thrives. Lots of that here, maybe more than required, but it's a sturdy story, too--an ancient sibling rivalry full of enough blood and thunder to hold anyone's interest."
Adler

"Combining informed conjecture with the story of a savage family whose treachery makes the Sopranos look tame by comparison, Bernard Cornwell has written a diverting novel that imagines the history behind Stonehenge....In the end, the book is more likely to appeal to fans of J.R.R. Tolkein than of David Macaulay."
New York Times Book Review - Michael Porter (10/08/2000)
