In 1851 Wyoming Territory, Chief Grey Eyes of the White Owl Assiniboine tribe asks his friend Chief Blue Thunder of the Wind Band of the Assiniboine for help. Comanche raiders attacked his tribe, already decimated by smallpox, abducting warriors and horses; he wants them back but need his friend's warriors to help. Reluctantly Blue Thunder agrees.

Shirleen has had enough of her abusive husband, as she fears for their four year old daughter, apparently taken by her spouse. However, before she can escape with her child, Comanches raid their homestead. They take her, but fail to take her child. Chiefs Blue Thunder and Grey Eyes and their warriors attack the Comanche rescuing Shirleen. As Blue Thunder and Shirleen search for her daughter before she is harmed, the chief and the wife fall in love.

As always the amazing Cassie Edwards uses the same plot device of a noble male Indian, a caring tolerant to all people white female, and an abusive white male to provide her fans with a wonderful historical romance. The well written story line enables readers to see the ravages on the Indians by diseases like smallpox brought by the whites. SAVAGE SKIES showcases why Ms. Edwards remains a long time sub-genre favorite as she writes her one hundredth novel, mostly Indian romances.
