Book Description

Publisher's Summary
The Charisian Empire, born in war, has always known it must fight for
Merlin Athrawes, and their innermost circle of most trusted advisers
do know. And because they do, they know the penalty if they lose will
be far worse than their own deaths and the destruction of all they know
and love.
For five years, Charis has survived all the Church of God Awaiting and
the corrupt men who control it have thrown at the island empire. The
price has been high and paid in blood. Despite its chain of hard-fought
naval victories, Charis is still on the defensive. It can hold its own
at sea, but if it is to survive, it must defeat the Church upon its
own ground. Yet how does it invade the mainland and take the war to
a foe whose population outnumbers its own 15 to one? How does it prevent
that massive opponent from rebuilding its fleets and attacking yet again?-
more and more innocent lives. Its agents are fomenting rebellion against
the only mainland realms sympathetic to Charis. Religious terrorists
stalk the Emperor and Empress, their allies and advisers, and an innocent
young boy, not yet 11 years old, whose father has already been murdered.
And Merlin Athrawes, the cybernetic avatar of a young woman a thousand
years dead, has finally learned what sleeps beneath the far-off Temple
The men and women fighting for human freedom and tolerance have built
a foundation for their struggle in the Empire of Charis with their own
blood, but will that foundation be firm enough to survive?
