Overview

""He built a fortress to keep the world out. The FBI built an army to get in"". THE EMPIRE. In the desolate borderlands of the American West, Warren Jeffs didn't just run a church. He ruled a totalitarian state. As the self-proclaimed Prophet of the FLDS, he controlled the minds, the money, and the marriages of 10,000 followers. His word was law. His power was absolute. And his secrets were buried deep. THE MANHUNT. When the law finally came for him, the Prophet didn't pray, he ran. Landing on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list right next to terrorists and cartel bosses, Jeffs led federal agents on a high-stakes game of cat-and-mouse. From the back of a red Cadillac Escalade, armed with burner phones and bags of untraceable cash, he continued to command his empire while on the run. THE SIEGE. But Jeffs had a backup plan: a secret, paramilitary compound built deep in the Texas scrubland, designed to withstand the end of the world. On April 3, 2008, the end arrived. It didn't come with fire and brimstone; it came with armored personnel carriers, SWAT teams, and the Texas Rangers. What followed was the largest child welfare raid in U.S. history, a tactical dismantling of an American theocracy that revealed a horror almost too deep to comprehend. From the author of The Portal and The Ritual comes the explosive, pulse-pounding finale to the Demanding Christian True Crime Trilogy
