Her mother lay next to her, and Gwenda could tell, by the warm milky smell, that Ma was feeding the new baby, who did not yet have a name. She was at Kingsbridge Priory, in the long stone building they called the hospital, lying on the floor in a bed of straw.
When she opened her eyes she could see nothing, but that was not what scared her. Gwenda was eight years old, but she was not afraid of the dark. The cathedral and the priory are again at the center of a web of love and hate, greed and pride, ambition and revenge. World Without End takes place in the same town of Kingsbridge, two centuries after the townspeople finished building the exquisite Gothic cathedral that was at the heart of The Pillars of the Earth.
