This is the second installment in an LDS speculative fiction trilogy with a distinct Mormon worldview of the days preceding the Second Coming. Both books depict fictional events which will lead to the establishment of a New Jerusalem on the American continent.
Refining Fire continues the story of Peter, Alyssa, and other characters as they face increasing danger from the new leader of the country, President-General Leopold Horne, to whom religion is a brand of psychosis.
