The hotly anticipated seventh volume in the New York Times bestselling Safehold series. For centuries Safehold lay under the unchallenged rule of the Church of God Awaiting, and no one knew that the Church was a fraud-established by a rebel faction of Safehold's founders, meant to keep humanity hidden from the alien race that destroyed Earth. Merlyn, cybernetic avatar of a warrior a thousand years dead, awoke with one purpose: to restart the history of the human race.
