Overview
UN MINERO DEL SÍLEX CON UN DON
Seft, un extractor de sílex con un gran talento, recorre la Gran Llanura en pleno calor estival para presenciar los rituales que señalan el comienzo de un nuevo año. Está allí para intercambiar sus piedras en las celebraciones del solsticio y para encontrarse con Neen, la chica a la que ama. La próspera familia de Neen le ofrece además una forma de escapar de la brutalidad de su padre y hermanos acogiéndolo en su comunidad de ganaderos.
UNA SACERDOTISA QUE CREE EN LO IMPOSIBLE
Joia, la hermana de Neen, es una sacerdotisa idealista y con una increíble capacidad de liderazgo. De niña, asiste cautivada a la Ceremonia del Solsticio de Verano y sueña con un nuevo y espectacular monumento levantado con las piedras más grandes del mundo. Pero la agitación está creciendo en las colinas y bosques de la Gran Llanura.
UN MONUMENTO QUE DEFINIRÁ A UNA CIVILIZACIÓN
La visión de Joia de un enorme círculo de piedras, reunidas por las divididas tribus de la Gran Llanura, inspirará a Seft y se convertirá en la obra de su vida. Sin embargo, a medida que la sequía arrase la tierra, la desconfianza crecerá entre los ganaderos, los cultivadores y los habitantes de los bosques..., y un acto de violencia salvaje provocará una guerra abierta.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
rom a bestselling author of epic fiction comes the deeply human story of one of the world’s greatest mysteries: the building of Stonehenge.
A FLINT MINER WITH A GIFT
Seft, a talented flint miner, walks the Great Plain in the high summer heat, to witness the rituals that signal the start of a new year. He is there to trade his stone at the Midsummer Fair, and to find Neen, the girl he loves. Her family lives in prosperity and offer Seft an escape from his brutish father and brothers within their herder community.
A PRIESTESS WHO BELIEVES THE IMPOSSIBLE
Joia, Neen’s sister, is a priestess with a vision and an unmatched ability to lead. As a child, she watches the Midsummer ceremony, enthralled, and dreams of a miraculous new monument, raised from the biggest stones in the world. But trouble is brewing among the hills and woodlands of the Great Plain.
A MONUMENT THAT WILL DEFINE A CIVILIZATION
Joia’s vision of a great stone circle, assembled by the divided tribes of the Plain, will inspire Seft and become their life’s work. But as drought ravages the earth, mistrust grows between the herders, farmers and woodlanders—and an act of savage violence leads to open warfare . . .
