Description
Set in Bronze Age Britain, this sweeping historical novel imagines the rivalries, ambitions, and religious convictions that may have inspired the creation of Stonehenge. Three half-brothers stand at its center: Lengar, a ruthless warrior seeking power; Camaban, a brilliant and feared visionary determined to build a temple to the gods; and Saban, whose practical skills may turn that vision into reality. As tribal conflict, betrayal, ritual, and sacrifice shape their world, the brothers’ uneasy alliance draws them toward one of humanity’s most enduring mysteries. Rich in atmosphere and grounded in vivid depictions of prehistoric life, the novel offers an adventurous, speculative answer to the question of why—and how—Stonehenge was built.
