Description
For lovers of epic historical fiction, a novel in the tradition of Conn Iggulden, Wilbur Smith and Bernard Cornwell from internationally bestselling author, Colin Falconer.
FIVE HUNDRED MEN AGAINST AN ARMY OF ONE MILLION WARRIORS. ONE WOMAN THREW THE ODDS IN THEIR FAVOUR.
Hernan Cortes is sent with a handful of men to explore the new lands to the west of Cuba. His orders: go no further than the beach and report back.
But though penniless and landless Cortes knew he was destined to be a king. All he needed was a country. He takes prisoner a young Mayan princess, Malinali. Her father was murdered by the country's overlords, the Aztecs. What she wanted was - revenge.
Their meeting changes the course of Mexican history.
She becomes Cortes' lover, devoting herself to the man she believes to be a living god. And she shows him how to achieve the impossible - but at what cost?
The legendary Aztec civilization is here brought to life in blazing color, as the author traces the story of one of the most extraordinary love affairs of history.
When Aztec was published in Latin America, it spent 4 months on the bestseller lists in Mexico
