LaRue of Zion Kingdom is a literary thriller set in a modern-day polygamist community in remote Utah.

LaRue believes God chose her to save the faithful from the Apocalypse. Her Calling demands sacrifice, and the sacrifices aren't all hers. Reluctant at first, then frighteningly good at it, LaRue becomes a killer for a cause. Each death brings her closer to achieving her purpose and closer to being caught.
