Two Cheyenne children were abducted

Skye and his wife, Victoria, take on a quest to find two kidnapped children who were sold into slavery in what is now the state of New Mexico. This story is full of great description and characterization, including capturing Standing Alone's need to find her children, the many faces of a fat man called Childress, and the pits of despair the human soul sinks to when it is enslaved. The Deliverance was a well written read and quite enjoyable.
