In Moab, Jared and Keith join the citizens making a stand against an army of gads--the nickname the locals have coined for those criminals who wear the tattoos of broken chains. A woman named Arsala Taggart fights with the two companions; young and beautiful with a warrior's mentality, Arsala is determined to protect her town from the marauders. The gads overwhelm the area with an armed tank, leaving little hope for the community. The XEB is the only option to stop the coming massacre.
After facing the gads in Utah, Jared and the others prepare for the end of the world on the ground known as Adam-ondi-Ahman, the land spoken of by prophets and sung about in song since the beginning of time. It is a sacred place where fate has gathered thousands--all who have blown to their destiny by the four winds.
