At the Sign of Triumph: David Weber's New York Times-bestselling
Safehold series begun with Off Armageddon Reef, By Schism Rent
Asunder, By Heresies Distressed, A Mighty Fortress and How Firm a
Foundation.
The Church of God Awaiting's triumph over Charis was inevitable. Despite
its prosperity, the Charis was a single, small island realm. It boasted
less than two percent of the total population of Safehold. How could it
possibly resist total destruction? The Church had every reason to be
confident of a swift, crushing victory, an object lesson to other
rebels.
But Charis had something far more powerful than simple numbers. It had a
king, a crown prince, and a navy prepared to die where they stood in its
defense. It had the Brethren of Saint Zherneau, who knew the truth about
Safehold's founding. Who knew that the Church of God Awaiting was a
monstrous lie. And it had Merlin Athrawes, last survivor of
long-vanished Earth. Merlin, the cybernetic avatar of a woman dead over
a thousand years, who was determined to break the Church's grip upon the
human mind and soul.
So after eight years of war, it is not Charis but the Church that stands
upon the brink of defeat. But the Church still commands immense
resources, and -- faced with the unthinkable -- it's decided that it,
too, must embrace the forbidden technology which has carried Charis so
far.
In the end, it is simple, for only one can survive. The lines are drawn,
the navies and armies have been raised, and all of Safehold is poised
for the final battle between those who believe in freedom and those who
would crush it forever.
