Thesis,
This looks like the beginning of a good book. You have done the necessary research. This sort of slavery is not uncommon in countries where women are not respected. I look forward to reading more.

I was very glad to read that this story is fiction but I am sure similar does indeed happen on a regular basis.
Maybe not to Westerners but to native women.
The way in which you tell the story allows the reader to feel each indignity imposed on the helpless victim, and outrage at such behaviour.
I have a friend who married a Saudi man. He treated her like a princess until she went to his country.
She can now no longer leave the house alone, and is treated like a slave. She has been told she may get a divorce if she wishes but must leave her son with her husband.
Your story brings home the reality and desperation of such a situation.

    Thank you for an exceptional review, Rose. It is a sad situation, for sure. Unfortunately these things do happen, with devastating results. Most victims do not have a Ranger to rescue them. - John

This has the makings of a great story. I can only imagine what an Army Ranger would do to these men. They are well practiced in their occupation.

    The Amir is going to find out just how well trained the Rangers are. He'll pay with more than money for his recent purchase. - John

Okay, I have to admire your versatility. From your daughter's party, to a crying little gilr who misses her dead mother to a women kidnapped and sold into slaveray. It's like three differant authors. Kudos to you.

What they had actually done, though, was to allow their daughters to be kidnapped and sold into a life of slavery, sexual abuse and torment.

This is a very sad story, but one of many that are true. I was once friends with a Muslim family, and the husband disclosed to me that he sometimes made his wife get up at 3 a.m. to scrub floors, and if she didn't do a good job, he beat her. After telling him what a low-life I thought he was, I offered to help the wife, but she refused. I find this type of relationship disgusting and intolerable. I'm not purporting that all Muslim families share his point of view, but most of the women are certainly not treated fairly.
I'm glad you wrote this story, because it will give readers a glimpse of what is going on in our world. Bravo!

Even though it was quite long you held my attention with this story. How horrible though, and worse still to think that this kind of thing actually does happen to some women. It's full of tension and quite unnerving, well done. Looking forward to the next part.
Cheers, Kath

Very good story with lots of action. Your characters are strong and you wrote in a lot of emotion. I found a couple of errors which I pasted below.
