In the shadow of the Andes, an empire gleams, ripe for the plunder. Francisco Pizarro, a man forged in hardship and driven by an insatiable hunger for God, Gold, and Glory, leads fewer than two hundred conquistadors against Tawantinsuyu, the vast realm of the Incas. But the Inca Empire, though mighty, is already tearing itself apart in a brutal civil war between two brothers: the proud Atahualpa and the legitimate heir Huáscar.

When Atahualpa, victorious but vulnerable, agrees to meet the strange bearded men in the plaza of Cajamarca, he steps into a meticulously planned ambush that will seal his fate and shatter his world. From the terror of that bloody day to the desperate siege of Cuzco and the decades of brutal Spanish civil wars and indigenous resistance that follow, "Fall of the Sun God" plunges into the heart of one of history's most dramatic and tragic conquests. Witness the clash of empires, the death of kings, and the birth of a new, scarred world through the eyes of conquerors and conquered alike.
