In David Weber's narrative, the battle for the planet Safehold intensifies as the Kingdom of Charis and the Kingdom of Chisholm unite against a corrupt Church. Young Queen Sharleyan of Chisholm marries King Cayleb of Charis, forming a powerful dynasty committed to human freedom. As the newly crowned Empress, Sharleyan discovers love in her political marriage, aligning her courage with Cayleb's defiance against the oppressive Group of Four governing the Church. However, she remains unaware of critical secrets that Cayleb cannot share, including the true history of humanity on Safehold, the web of lies that has ensnared them for centuries, and the genocidal alien Gbaba poised to annihilate humanity if they attract attention again. Additionally, there is the mystery of Nimue Alban, a woman from nine hundred years ago whose essence lives on in the android warrior-monk known as Merlin. As Empress Sharleyan confronts the monumental challenges ahead, she does so without knowledge of the hidden truths that could jeopardize their achievements and her very life.
