Praised as a “truly original combination of postapocalyptic
sci-fi and military-oriented medieval fantasy,”* S. M.
Stirling’s Novels of the Change depict a future without
technology, where people must master skills from ages past
in order to survive. Now, to ensure that survival for all he
cares for, a king faces his greatest challenge in the latest
chapter of the New York Times bestselling saga....
Rudi Mackenzie has won the battle that expelled the enemy
from the new High Kingdom of Montival. Now he must free the
people who live in the state once known as Idaho from
occupation by the legions of the Church Universal and
Triumphant and pursue them to their lair over the mountains.
There he will finally confront the forces behind the
Church—the Powers of the Void.
Yet even a victory will not end the conflict forever. The
Powers of the Void are malevolent and infinitely patient,
and the struggle is one that involves the entire world. They
threaten Rudi not only in the present, but also in the
future represented by his children, Órlaith and John. Rudi
knows this.
And as his heir Princess Órlaith grows up in the shadow of
her famous father, she also realizes that the enemy will do
anything to see that she does not live to fulfill her
parents’ dream....
