Description
Centuries ago, humanity fought its first great war against an alien race and lost. A small population of humans fled to distant Safehold, where their descendants have lived in an eternal Middle Ages, ruled by the Church of God Awaiting.
The Church's secret purpose is to prevent industrial civilization from re-emerging, but not all of Safehold's founders agreed with this plan. One of those dissidents was Merlyn Athrawes, a cybernetic avatar who has been reawakened after a thousand years to restart human progress and reclaim their place in the universe.
Merlyn has intervened in various realms, seeding them with ideas and innovations that have helped them challenge the Church's hegemony. However, a new player has arrived, one who knows many secrets - including Merlyn's own identity. This latest development marks a turning point in the struggle for power in Safehold.
