The Shoals of Ammoron

The democratic rule of the judges in the capital city of Zarahemla has been overthrown. Chief Judge Pahoran has been exiled by a self-absorbed, self-declared king whose power and influence is beginning to spread throughout the region. The nation is already struggling to ward off invasion across its southern borders and Pahoran fears that the new king will sacrifice the fringe territories in order to secure his own safety in the capital. His only hope to reestablish a responsible government that will save his people from slaughter is to seek the aid of a charismatic, vicious, and mercurial military commander named Moroni.
