Sinopse

In Stonehenge, Bernard Cornwell recreates the period of the monument's construction in a thrilling struggle between three brothers for power over their tribe. Cornwell delves into one of the planet's most well-known and enigmatic mysteries: built over 4,000 years ago, the famous stone temple Stonehenge, one of the greatest symbols of Great Britain, inspired the author to shed light on this distant period of British history. Stonehenge tells the story of three brothers and two rival tribes who bring the story of the great temple to life. One summer's day, a dying stranger arrives in Ratharryn carrying a vast wealth of gold. Each of the tribe's chieftain's three sons will be influenced differently by this unexpected gift. The eldest son, the warrior Lengar, is capable of murdering his own father to further his ruthless ambition to rule and gain great power for the tribe. Camaban, the tribe's crippled outcast, becomes a great visionary and feared sorcerer, forcing his younger brother, Saban, to embark on a perilous journey to build the temple on the verdant hill. Saban is a man of peace, and with his skills, he will build the enormous temple—a place that will forever confirm the supreme power of the tribe that built it. But his love for Aurenna, the bride of the sun whose destiny is to die for the gods, will intensify the rivalry between the brothers. Filled with sorcery, pagan rituals, greed, and intrigue, this compelling saga results in one of Cornwell's most ambitious novels, one that will captivate readers interested in ancient history and eager to decipher the mysteries of a world that has long since ceased to exist.
