Ken Follett's best-selling novel is brought to life in a star-studded and critically acclaimed eight-part miniseries! Emerging from the war-torn shadows of England's Dark Ages, an idealistic mason, Tom Builder (Rufus Sewell, The Holiday), sets out on a quest to erect a glorious cathedral bathed in light. But when that light threatens to illuminate the dark secrets of ambitious Bishop Waleran Bigod (Iam McShane, 2005 Golden Globe Award, Best Actor, TV's Deadwood) and the battling progeny of King Henry, Queen Maud (Alison Pill, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World) and King Stephen (Tony Curran, Ondine), they'll stop at nothing to keep those secrets safe!
