Six months have passed since the LDS prophet’s memorable visit to Manti, and the United States has suffered through a harsh winter. Meanwhile, the Coalition forces have methodically taken control of the nation–except for the Rocky Mountains, where the ice and snow have kept the Saints hidden away from the world. But spring has arrived, and the Coalition soldiers are on the move again. In response, the Elders of Israel have been called forth from the mountain camps to defend their liberty. Under the direction of the prophet, these faithful servants prepare for a showdown that will determine the course of history. Within these events, members of the North, Dalton, and Brown families each make vital decisions as they prepare to help build a holy city that will stand forever–New Jerusalem.
