A Mighty Fortress: Book 4 of the Safehold Series
The fourth installment in David Weber's New York Times-bestselling Safehold series delivers epic naval warfare and high-stakes political intrigue. Following Off Armageddon Reef, By Schism Rent Asunder, and By Heresies Distressed, this novel continues the story of humanity's last refuge and the battle for freedom against overwhelming odds.
Plot Overview
Young Cayleb Ahrmahk has achieved crushing naval victories and united with Queen Sharleyan of Chisholm to create the Charisian Empire, the greatest naval power in Safehold's history. Their empire stands as a beacon of freedom, but the Church of God Awaiting has decreed their destruction. With Mother Church's entire purpose dedicated to preventing the innovations Charis represents, a mighty fleet prepares to sail against them.
What the Church doesn't know is that Cayleb and Sharleyan have an extraordinary adviser: Merlin Athrawes, a mystic warrior-monk who is actually the cybernetic avatar of Nimue Alban, a woman who died a thousand years before. Merlin witnessed the Terran Federation's destruction and knows that Safehold is humanity's last planet. The Church's enforced stasis threatens the human race's survival, and only a handful of extraordinary individuals stand in the path of the approaching juggernaut.
