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.
