iPlates: Volume 2: Part I: Alma in the Wilderness: Book of Mormon Comics

by Stephen Carter, Jett Atwood (Contributor)

Alma sits shivering in the wilderness outside the city of Shilom. That morning he had been one of King Noahs priests, living a sumptuous lifestyle and wielding great power. But then a lone prophet named Abinadi had preached to the kings court and changed Almas heart. When King Noah decreed Abinadi's execution, Alma tried to defend the prophet, but barely escaped with his life. Fortunately, Alma meets Gideon, a man who heads a group of revolutionaries dedicated to overthrowing the king. Gideon is intrigued by Almas message and decides to help him. But then Sybil, a woman Alma had known at the palace, emerges from the forest. Is she a spy from the king, or an honest seeker of truth? Meanwhile, the Lamanites are about to launch a surprise attack on Shilom. The king, along with most of the men, will abandon the city, and Zerin will find herself leading a desperate attempt to save the women and children. (The story is based on events in Mosiah chapters 12 and 13.)
