16 Nephites journeyed through the wilderness to discover what had become of their brethren who had left their city more than a generation earlier. Upon finding what may be the lost city of Nephi, they are captured and rudely treated. Could this be the people they have come in search of? If they are, then why are they acting so harshly?This novel is based on accounts taken directly from The Book of Mormon and breathes new life into characters whose story is as poignant and worth telling today as it was when it first transpired over 2,000 years ago.For many, the account of the Nephites in the Land of Nephi is an interesting, but confusing period. This novel not only makes sense of who was where, when, and why, but does it in an interesting way that brings the people to life.It deals with the saga of the Nephites' desire to return to their beloved land of Nephi, built by their forefather, Nephi. It was a choice land which, during the reign of King Mosiah I, they were forced to leave. Key characters in the novel include: -The Kings of the land of Nephi - King Zeniff, King Noah, King Limhi-The prophets from the land of Nephi - Abinadi, Alma-Some of the heroic people of that era - Gideon, Helam, Ammon, and others-Some of the villains - The Lamanite kings both named King Laman, Ammulon the traitorous "priest" who persecuted the righteousThis novel also deals with the utterly hopeless situation the Nephites found themselves in as a result of rejecting their God and His commandments.
