At the Sign of Triumph (Safehold)

Author’s Note

Some of you may have noticed that there is no character list in this book. Some of you may have felt a certain relief that there’s no character list in this book.

A combination of factors came together to cause its omission this time around. Part of it was the simple length of the manuscript and the thought of what adding another forty thousand or so words to it would have done in terms of my readers’ skeletal muscular injuries. Part of it was that I was delayed getting the book in and that, in fact, Tor has done a remarkable job to get it through production in time for delivery.

And part of it was that I intend—eventually—to post a comprehensive list of all the characters in all the Safehold novels on my website at davidweber.net. I will also be posting the master electronic map of Safehold. It requires some work before it’s ready for prime time, however, and the same is true of the character list. So if you come looking for either of them in the immediate future, you probably won’t find them. Give me another month or so, and you should be able to.

Thanks for coming along for the ride this far. I promise Merlin still has lots more story to tell.
