Join fifteen-year-old Harry Hawkins as he takes the baton from his father, Jim, and embarks upon a perilous quest to grant what may be his sister's last wish and reunite her with the love of her life. In the process, he discovers secrets about the mysterious caverns of Frost Cave that his father never dreamed of, secrets that plunge him into a world he never expected. A world in rebellion against the oppressors of Rome and against the pure and undefiled doctrines of Christ and His newborn Church — the dangerous and reeling world of Jerusalem and the New Testament in the first century A.D.

TheAtoner: While Marcos switched sides to rescue Melody, he still grew up in the Gadianton cult and either witnessed or participated in some nasty stuff as a young man. As such, he remained in Nephite times to serve as a missionary, to atone for his many sins. Hence why he can’t be reached.

The explosive saga that began with Tennis Shoes Among the Nephites, Gadiantons and the Silver Sword, and The Feathered Serpent Parts One and Two kicks into high gear once again in this fifth volume of the ongoing adventures of the Hawkins family.
Join fifteen-year-old Harry Hawkins as he takes the baton from his father, Jim, and embarks upon a perilous quest to grant what may be his sister's last wish and reunite her with the love of her life. In the process, he discovers secrets about the mysterious caverns of Frost Cave that his father never dreamed of, secrets that plunge him into a world he never expected. A world in rebellion against the oppressors of Rome and against the pure and undefiled doctrines of Christ and His newborn Church — the dangerous and reeling world of Jerusalem and the New Testament in the first century A.D.
!!Tropes:
*AllThereInTheManual: Invoked in-universe. Harry goes to the Book of Mormon to see the timeline of events Marcos is ostensibly caught up in to see why he hasn’t returned yet.
*TheAtoner
*BigDamnHeroes
*TheBusCameBack
*{{Bookworm}}
*CallToAdventure
*{{Cliffhanger}}
*CoolBike: Harry has one, and is displeased to find out Meagan has one too.
*CoolPeopleRebelAgainstAuthority: Meagan is going through a rebellious phase where she dyes her hair, gets a nose ring (something a bit more taboo in LDS culture), and is generally surly.
*DiscOneFinalBoss: Kumarcaah.
*FishOutOfWater
*GladiatorGames
*GrowingTheBeard: This is where the series really expands. Jim is no longer a protagonist, it’s the first of a three-book arc instead of a duo, and they’re suddenly traveling to other times instead of just the Book of Mormon. There’s also a new level of historicity to the setting since there’s more research on this era, and a new level of maturity in the war sections.
*MadeASlave: Marcos, as it turns out.
*MundaneUtility: Kumarcaah has discovered the caves that let you travel through time, but is mostly using them to steal new slaves from the lands he visits.
*NarniaTime: Discussed and invoked to justify Harry’s journey. Every time they’ve traveled, more time has passed in the past than in the present, meaning Marcos should’ve finished his mission years ago. But he hasn’t returned, which likely means something is keeping him from coming.
*OrphansOrdeal: Jesse is a war orphan.
*PalsWithJesus: The heroes meet Symeon Cleophas, nephew of Joseph, father of Christ. This makes him cousins with the Savior, and he has firsthand stories of watching him perform miracles.
*TheQuest
*SecondLove: Jim is finally getting engaged to Sabrina after five years of dating. Their announcement helps kick off the plot.
