Framed for the public assassination of the king, a young warrior escapes to the land of his enemies, leaving behind his family, the woman he loves, and his military prospects. Among a group of faith-driven refugees, he discovers an unexpected new life. However, when a military traitor ignites war between the two nations, the warrior must choose between his new life of peace and a chance for revenge. Set against the vivid backdrop of the Book of Mormon, Defector uses real characters and events to explore the human passions that define us as individuals and as a society. Passions like jealousy, revenge, love, faith, and friendship.
