CHEYENNE series
by JUDD COLE

An Indian raised in the white man’s world, Touch the Sky never forgot the kindness of the settlers, and tried to help them whenever possible. But an old friend’s request to negotiate a treaty between the Cheyenne and gold miners brought the young brave face to face with a cunning warrior. If Touch the Sky couldn’t defeat his new enemy, the territory would never again be safe for pioneers!

From the day Touch the Sky returned to his tribe, blue-coats, desperadoes, and rival Indians fought for his scalp. The strong brave had little to protect himself besides a few bold allies, his skill as a warrior, and the cunning he had learned from the white man. And he’d need all the trickery and daring he could muster when an old foe devised a diabolical plot to crush the Cheyennes' dreams into the dirt.

Raised among frontier settlers, Touch the Sky never feared losing his freedom. But to his people, the threat of being sold into bondage was very real. And when a notorious Spanish slave trader captured the women and children, Touch the Sky and his brother warriors swore to save them. It was a race against time, and if the Cheyenne were too late, their glorious past would face into a hopeless future.

Touch the Sky knew nothing of his people’s enemies when he returned to the life of the Cheyenne. But during his first buffalo hunt a band of Comanche attacked the tribe. Soon the silence of the prairie was shattered by the cries of the wounded and dying. Touch the Sky and his brother warriors had to fend off the vicious war party—or they would be slaughtered like the mighty beasts of the plains.

A Cheyenne youth who had spent his whole life among frontier pioneers, Touch the Sky was hated and feared when he returned to his tribe. But suddenly Touch the Sky's life was in greater peril than ever. For greedy land-grabbers wanted to swindle his people out of their hunting grounds, and they would soak the plains with the blood of many warriors if Touch the Sky couldn't stop them.

The perilous adventures of a young brave, raised as a white man, struggling to make a place for himself in a violent land. Once known as Matthew Hanchon now called Touch the Sky, he faces isolation and constant danger, as he struggles to prove he belongs among the Cheyenne. But as he hunts for a mystical sign from the Great Spirit, his enemies track him--and it will take a warrior's spirit and a frontiersman's grit to survive.

This series follows the perilous adventures of a young man raised by white men and spurned by his own people, the Cheyenne. Torn between his Cheyenne blood and his love for his adoptive white settler parents, Touch the Sky risks his relationship with the Cheyenne to protect his adoptive parents from a gang of ruthless outlaws.

When Matthew Hanchon returned to the Cheyenne people after being raised by settlers, he did not find the acceptance he sought. For the Cheyenne could not fully trust anyone raised in the ways of the white man. Forced to prove his loyalty, Matthew faced the greatest challenge he had ever known. And when the death chant arose, he knew if he failed he would not die alone.

A Cheyenne Indian raised among pioneers on the Wyoming frontier, Matthew Hanchon had never known anything but fear and distrust. For the settlers had branded him a savage - a beast they would despise until they gunned him down. And when Matthew realzed that his adopted parents would suffer for their love of him, he fled into the wilderness, seeking the people whose blood he shared. But the youth soon found that the Cheyenne hated him as much as the whites. Matthew would need a frontiers-man's cunning and grit and a warrior's courage, strength, and skill, or he would never survive. This is a story of one man's heroic search for a world he could call his own.
