But the Gbaba can detect the emissions of an industrial civilization, so the human rulers of Safehold have taken extraordinary measures: with mind control and hidden high technology, they've built a religion in which \u003ci\u003eevery\u003c\/i\u003e Safeholdian believes, a religion designed to keep Safehold society medieval forever. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e800 years pass. In a hidden chamber on Safehold, an android from the far human past awakens. This \"rebirth\" was set in motion centuries before, by a faction that opposed shackling humanity with a concocted religion. Via automated recordings, \"Nimue\" - or, rather, the android with the memories of Lieutenant Commander Nimue Alban - is told her fate: she will emerge into Safeholdian society, suitably disguised, and begin the process of provoking the technological progress which the Church of God Awaiting has worked for centuries to prevent. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNothing about this will be easy. To better deal with a medieval society, \"Nimue\" takes a new gender and a new name, \"Merlin.\" His formidable powers and access to caches of hidden high technology will need to be carefully concealed. And he'll need to find a base of operations, a Safeholdian country that's just a little more freewheeling, a little less orthodox, a little more open to the new. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnd thus Merlin comes to Charis, a mid-sized kingdom with a talent for naval warfare. He plans to make the acquaintance of King Haarahld and Crown Prince Cayleb, and maybe, just maybe, kick off a new era of invention. Which is bound to draw the attention of the Church...and, inevitably, lead to war. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt's going to be a long, long process.
