World Without End by Ken Follett
4.0

"When you've lost everything, you've got nothing left to lose."-Caris, World Without End

World Without End by Ken Follett is the second book in the Kingsbridge Series. This book takes place in Kingsbridge, a couple hundred years after Pillars of the Earth takes place. The year is 1327 and we are introduced to 4 children who are playing in the forest when they come across a man who is being attacked. The man looks to be a knight and says his name is Thomas Langley. He tells the children to forget what they saw and to dig up the letter only after he dies or else they could face death as well. These children grow up all entangled in the web of mystery. Caris is a free spirit who doesn't want to be tied down to anyone.  Merthin is madly in love with Caris. Gwenda who just wants the love of her life to love her in return. Ralph becomes a knight but is not the chivalrous type. All their stories intertwine as Kingsbridge deals with devastating events such as the collapse of a bridge and the Black Death.
