The sequel to the New York Times best seller Off Armageddon Reef
The world has changed. The mercantile kingdom of Charis has prevailed
over the alliance designed to exterminate it. Armed with better sailing
vessels, better guns and better devices of all sorts, Charis faced the
combined navies of the rest of the world at Darcos Sound and Armageddon
Reef, and broke them. Despite the implacable hostility of the Church of
God Awaiting, Charis still stands, still free, still tolerant, still an
island of innovation in a world in which the Church has worked for
centuries to keep humanity locked at a medieval level of existence.
But the powerful men who run the Church aren't going to take their
defeat lying down. Charis may control the world's seas, but it barely
has an army worthy of the name. And as King Cayleb knows, far too much
of the kingdom's recent good fortune is due to the secret manipulations
of the being that calls himself Merlin-a being that, the world must not
find out too soon, is more than human. A being on whose shoulders rests
the last chance for humanity's freedom.
Now, as Charis and its archbishop make the rift with Mother Church
explicit, the storm gathers. Schism has come to the world of Safehold.
Nothing will ever be the same... in David Weber's By Schism Rent
Asunder.
