A gripping historical novel about the Conquest of Mexico by Hernán Cortés and the obstacles he faced, including extreme weather, difficult terrain, betrayals and insurrections by his own men, unknown languages, human sacrifices, cannibalism, and wars. The work also highlights the important role of doña Marina, La Malinche, in the conquest, her relationship with the Spanish captain; and the strange bond between Hernán Cortés and Moctezuma, the Aztec emperor.

You will relive the key battles, Cholula and Tóxcatl Massacres, the Night of Sorrows (la Noche Triste), Tenochtitlan's siege, and the fall of the Aztec Empire.

The novel is backed by extensive bibliographic research and on the accounts of both victors and vanquished participants, as well as on the significant historians and scholars of the historical period.

A novel that will make you feel the epic of the Conquest of Mexico.
