At the hallmark of Triumph: David Weber’s NY Times-bestselling Safehold series begun with Off Armageddon Reef, By Schism Rent Asunder, By Heresies Distressed, A Mighty Fortress and exactly how Firm a Foundation.

The Cathedral of God Awaiting’s overcome Charis was inevitable. Despite its prosperity, the Charis was an individual, small island realm. It boasted less than two percent of the full total human population of Safehold. How could it probably resist total damage? The Church had every reason to be about At the Sign of Triumph: A Novel in the Safehold Series (#9) confident of a swift, crushing victory, an object lesson to additional rebels.

But Charis had something far more powerful than simple numbers. It had a ruler, a crown prince, and a navy prepared to pass away where they stood in its defense. It had the Brethren of Saint Zherneau, who understood the truth about Safehold’s founding. Who understood that the Cathedral of God Awaiting was a monstrous lay. And it experienced Merlin Athrawes, last survivor of long-vanished Globe. Merlin, the cybernetic avatar of a female dead over one thousand years, who was motivated to break the Church’s grasp upon the individual mind and spirit.

Therefore after eight many years of battle, it isn’t Charis but the Chapel that stands upon the brink of defeat. But the Cathedral still commands huge assets, and – faced with the unthinkable – it’s determined that it, as well, must accept the forbidden technology which has carried Charis so far.

In the end, it is simple, for only one may survive. The lines are drawn, the navies and armies have been raised, and most of Safehold is definitely poised for the final battle between those who believe in independence and those who crush it forever.
