"The personalities and motivations of the numerous characters are particularly well drawn and credible, and Weber makes grand strategies and political machinations easily accessible to casual readers."

Publisher's note

Finding unexpected love and purpose in a marriage of state to King Cayleb that united their kingdoms against a corrupt Church, Empress Sharleyan finds her efforts compromised by secrets that her husband has reluctantly kept and a fabricated religion that has oppressed humanity for centuries.

Now the battle for the soul of the planet Safehold has begun.
The Kingdom of Charis and the Kingdom of Chisholm have joined together, pledged to stand against the tyranny of a corrupt Church. The youthful Queen Sharleyan of Chisholm has wed King Cayleb of Charis, forging a single dynasty, a single empire, dedicated to the defense of human freedom. Crowned Empress of that empire, Sharleyan has found in Cayleb's arms the love she never dared hope for in a "marriage of state." In Cayleb's cause, his defiance of the ruthless Group of Four who govern mother Church, she has found the task to which she can commit her mind and her courage. It is a cause for which she was born.
Yet there are things Sharleyan still does not know. Secrets Cayleb has not been permitted to share, even with her. Secrets like the true story of humanity on Safehold. Like the intricate web of lies, deception, and fabricated "religion" which have chained humanity for almost a thousand years. Like the existence of the genocidal alien Gbaba, waiting to complete mankind's destruction should humans ever attract their attention once more. Like the existence of a young woman, Nimue Alban, nine hundred years dead, whose heart, mind, and memories live on within the android body of the warrior-monk she knows as Merlin.
And so Empress Sharleyan faces the the great challenge of her life unaware of all that task truly entails...or of how the secrets the man who loves her cannot share may threaten all they have achieved between them...and her own life.

Annotation

Planet Earth long destroyed, humans have rebuilt their civilization on the colonized planet Safehold. Much like on Earth, powerful institutions--the state and the church--dictate lives, although with a new alliance through marriage between Queen Sharleyan of Chisholm and King Cayleb of Charis, a strong advocate of freedom has emerged. Determined to bring down the corrupt and insidious Church of God Awaiting, Sharleyan and Cayleb must work together with the cyber personality Merlin, although their efforts will surely stir up dangerous secrets and might attract the attention of the ruthless Gbaba. This is the third book in bestselling author David Weber's Safehold series.
