1067. In the desolate wastes of Greenland, a band of hunters discover a strangely-shaped meteor which has fallen from the sky. At first, the mysterious 'sky-stone' seems to bring good luck, healing a lame boy and guaranteeing a good catch of furs. But violence and murder soon follow in fortune's wake as the villagers fight and struggle among themselves to get control of the precious stone.

Over the next six hundred years, the Sky-Stone falls into the hands of crusading knights, the wicked Sheriff of Devon, a group of radical young kabalists, the dying King Henry III and a band of travelling players. Each time, the stone brings treachery, discord and violent death to those who seek to possess it.

Light and easy to read

Not sure if this works - that is many authors for one book using the same theme. Some chapters are better written than others and there is very little substance to the stories, but it is an easy and sometimes entertaining read and I enjoyed the real historical facts outlined at the end of each chapter which facilitated the writers to build up their fiction stories. I read it on Kindle.

Liked the concept - not sure on the content

I love historical fiction and I love all the authors involved in this book.The short stories were very well written with good characterisation but my only criticism was the part of the story involved with the magic/evil/healing properties of the stone. Ok but I prefer my stories to be filled with clues and intrigue - not a great 'magic' fan.I will try other books by this group though as the standard of writing was great. A good holiday read.

Enjoyable

The book is split into a number of different stories with the sky stone being the central point of interest. Each story made a very fascinating read and the authors really showed humankind at its best and worse. One of the best boks that I have bought for my Kindle, which I would thoroughly recommend.
