Captain Helaman’s estate in the city is the perfect refuge, far from pitying eyes and nosy village women. But though time has healed his battle wounds, it hasn’t bound up his broken heart. Abandoned and alone in the world, Eliza asked Uncle Helaman to take her in.

Salome watched her son get taken captive by Lamanite soldiers, tied to a chain of prisoners, and herded south toward the Land of Nephi. She tracked them for days, but lost them in the jumble of prints at the Sidon River. Lost and alone in the wilderness, nearly out of food, and feeling hopeless, she wonders if she should continue on or go home in shame to tell her kinsmen what happened. Bringing his brother's wife on a journey to rescue his brother was probably not Jashon's best idea... moreSalome watched her son get taken captive by Lamanite soldiers, tied to a chain of prisoners, and herded south toward the Land of Nephi. She tracked them for days, but lost them in the jumble of prints at the Sidon River. Lost and alone in the wilderness, nearly out of food, and feeling hopeless, she wonders if she should continue on or go home in shame to tell her kinsmen what happened. Bringing his brother's wife on a journey to rescue his brother was probably not Jashon's best idea. They could move so much faster without Keturah, and her beauty is more than a little distracting. But when Ket spots a woman hiding in the trees near the Sidon, with information about Gid, Jashon promises to save her son. While they wait for the time to be right to enact the rescue, Jashon discovers that his brother is not the only man that needed to be saved. less

There was never any question that two Nephite warriors would go into enemy lands to free their brother from a Lamanite prison. But bringing their brother's wife on the arduous journey was probably not Jashon's best idea. They could move so much faster without Keturah, and her beauty is more than a little distracting. Lamech isn’t faring any better than his brother... moreThere was never any question that two Nephite warriors would go into enemy lands to free their brother from a Lamanite prison. But bringing their brother's wife on the arduous journey was probably not Jashon's best idea. They could move so much faster without Keturah, and her beauty is more than a little distracting. Lamech isn’t faring any better than his brother. He’s used to protecting himself in enemy lands, but protecting his captain's pretty sister from a Lamanite spy with designs on her heart is a complication he has no training for. Watching sweet Sarai fall in love with her brooding watchdog is small consolation for Salome when her own heart is breaking. Meeting Jashon and his kinsmen near the River Sidon was a stroke of luck, but she only hopes Jashon can do what he promises and bring her son back safely. As the brothers travel deeper into the ancient land of their fathers, a land where the right path is not always clear, they will find that their brother was not the only man who needed to be saved. Enjoy Brothers in Arms in this combined format to experience the intertwining stories of Sarai and Salome, streamlined to follow their journey to Jerusalem chronologically. Read the stories separately in Like the Tendrils of a Vine and When the Time is Right for a more detailed look into the heart of each beautiful heroine. Whichever format you choose, you'll be inspired by the strength of two girls who learn to perfect their faith with their actions. less
