The Children of Heaven:

It is 1810. Aotearoa-New Zealand is a wild and untamed place and is populated almost entirely by Maori – The Children of Heaven. Back in America, a frontiersman named Bret Walker is on a mission to ship a crate of army muskets back home to his wilderness settlement, at Snake River. He and his neighbours are under attack there by the local Gros Ventre native-American Indian tribe. Unfortunately, the ship and crew he picks for the mission have different plans for both the muskets, and for him. They set sail instead, to the Dutch East Indies, intending to sell him there, as a field slave. So begins Bret’s journey, to a land and people, raw and unyielding. A place where only the strongest can survive. A place where the reward for the smallest of mistakes, is most likely to be death.
