Ken Follett’s magnificent historical epic begins as five interrelated families move through the momentous dramas of the First World War, the Russian Revolution, and the struggle for women’s suffrage. A thirteen-year-old Welsh boy enters a man’s world in the mining pits. . . . An American law student rejected in love finds a surprising new career in Woodrow Wilson’s White House. . . . A housekeeper for the aristocratic Fitzherberts takes a fateful step above her station, while Lady Maud Fitzherbert herself crosses deep into forbidden territory when she falls in love with a German spy. . . . And two orphaned Russian brothers embark on radically different paths when their plan to emigrate to America falls afoul of war, conscription, and revolution. From the dirt and danger of a coal mine to the glittering chandeliers of a palace, from the corridors of power to the bedrooms of the mighty, Fall of Giants takes us into the inextricably entangled fates of five families—and into a century that we thought we knew, but that now will never seem the same again. . . .

In the far-off realm of Gardoool lay the countries of Qire-Mersnal, Leyrsai, Derth and Gorneeth. Qire-Mersnal; the land of archers and grassy hills. Leyrsai: the land of priests and magic. Derth: the land of metallic craftsmanship and horses. Gorneeth: the wasteland of Raiders and war. A not very skilled Warrior of Capes, named Nedum, is banished from the city of Gliimie for telling tales of the rouge Captain Jarn the Second. He is banished to the Outcast headquarters in Gorneeth, where the legendary Captain Jarn is supreme. Jarn doesn’t believe that Nedum has the necessary potential to be an Outcast. But Jarn’s right hand man, Romat has faith in him and takes him under his wing. As soon as Romat has trained him a little, there are many trials he must surpass. To begin with, he is involved in an attempt to stop the most powerful Wizard in Gardoool from obtaining a very evil relic. Later he is involved in a siege against the powerful Gorneethan Prince Vaz. During the battle, Nedum faces one of the Twins of Terror and barely escapes with his life. Meanwhile, Romat is making his way back from the gladiator arena when he falls in love with a damsel in distress. He must protect her from a humiliated gladiator and his Sorcerer brother. During his travels, Romat meets Aush, a man that many men believe to be The One to Come, sent by The Great Ones. Romat marries the woman and runs to save Jarn from a retaliating Prince Vaz. In the dark shadows of Gorneeth there is a sinister man planning the downfall of the Warriors of Capes, Jarn’s old mentor...Sehym.
