It is a story of kindness and killers; of ruthless pirates and innocent believers; of a Native American woman who had the courage to stand up to Strang, a man she both loved and hated; and it is the story of how one man's craving for power and control over others proved to be his ultimate undoing. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Laurie Lounsbury\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/14\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781733803809\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 474\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.06d","brand":"Laurie Lounsbury","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42875204567221,"sku":"9781733803809","price":15.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_8567736a-67af-4972-afdb-ab615006d8ae.jpg?v=1684814771","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/kingdom-forgotten-the-rise-and-demise-of-a-mormon-island-king-9781733803809","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
