Years of natural and manmade calamity have set the stage. Superstorms, quakes, terrorism, pandemics, social disintegration—religious conservatives have had enough! They are determined to reclaim America’s greatness as they see it and are within a hairsbreadth of amending the Constitution on marriage, abortion and—most far-reaching of all—the declaration of the United States as a Judeo-Christian nation.Standing against these forces is Ingersoll—an enormous private enclave on the banks of the Potomac built in secret by billionaire Bryce Jones.In mounting this desperate challenge, Bryce is gambling on two leaders who couldn’t be more different: Ansel Frye, his corporate-minded protégé, who is harboring a secret that threatens to sabotage their cause, and India Ruiz, a radical social activist known for her outspoken atheism.Will the amendments become the law of the land? In this political contest poised on a razor’s edge, any number of things can tip the balance—and it soon becomes clear that one of them, true belief, is not the province of only one side. In the end, the only certainty is that more is at stake in these fundamental clashes of culture, belief and values than anyone should take for granted. 3
