A young girl called Tozi stands at the bottom of a pyramid, waiting to be led to the top where her heart will be cut out....
Pepillo, a Spanish orphan who serves a sadistic Dominican friar, is aboard the Spanish fleet as it sails towards Mexico.... This is the epic story of the clash of two empires, two armies and two gods of war.
Five hundred desperate adventurers are about to pit themselves against the most brutal armies of the ancient Americas, armies hundreds of thousands strong. This is a war of gods and men.
Dark powers that work behind the scenes of history show their hand as the prophecy of the return of Quetzalcoatl is fulfilled with the arrival of Cortes. The Aztec ruler Moctezuma fights to maintain the demands of the war god Huitzilopochtli for human sacrifice. The Spanish Inquisition is planning an even greater blood-letting.
Caught up in the headlong collision between two gods of war are Tozi, Pepillo and the beautiful sex slave Malinal whose hatred of Moctezuma runs so deep she will sell out her own land and people to destroy him.

What a satisfying treaty of a history that was to me, until now, lost in a quagmire of gray all too boring mist.
Well done Mr Hancock!
Thank You.
Living History
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I am fairly well versed in Mezoamerican history, so knew the blow by blow of Cortes’s subjugation of the Aztecs. Hancock’s fictional portion of what the characters could have said and done blended well with the history of what they actually did say and do. It was believable and added depth to the tale.
I can take or leave the use of “Magic” in historical fiction. Many of the goings on were pinned to magic.
If you don’t like tales of bloody conquests of native peoples by advanced civilizations, then stay away from this series. But that’s how it happened and Hancock does not hold back.
Bring on Book 4. There is much more story to be told.

Great story.

In history lessons, we get glimpses or brief paragraphs of the fascinating clash of civilizations between the Conquistadors and the Indian empires, but Hancock really brings the whole thing to life and you feel like you are there. He answers alot of questions and unravels the mystery of the encounters that is very satisfying.
His action sequences are amazing and you can tell the small details he throws in are METICULOUSLY researched. Tension, sense of dread, and the cunning and violence are illustrated well.
Narrator was also top notch, even surpassing R.C. Bray, which I thought was impossible. His repertoire of so many different voices and distinct personalities really adds to the deep characterization.
You get to see the motivations of all the different sides and this story flows really really well.
Already bought part 2.
