And because they are doing, they know the penalty if indeed they shed will be much even worse than their very own deaths as well as the destruction of most they know and love.

For five years, Charis has survived all of the Church of God Awaiting and the corrupt men who control it have thrown in the island empire. The price has been high and paid in blood. Despite its chain of hard-fought naval victories, Charis continues to be on the protective. It can keep its own at sea, but if it is to survive, it must defeat the Church upon its ground.
