Description
Conquistador Hernán Cortés is firmly determined to conquer Mexico and seize the Aztec gold. He has already destroyed the Mayans at Potonchan and is now marching on Tenochtitlán, the Aztec golden capital. He is surrounded by the aura of a god, who, according to prophecy, was supposed to return and take revenge. His small expedition of just five hundred Spaniards will face an army of two hundred thousand led by the half-mad ruler Montezuma. Cortés engages in a psychological game of nerves to undermine Montezuma's confidence before their armies clash - and he is not alone in this battle. He is aided by the Mayan princess Malinal, who enlightens him about the prophecy of the return of the Feathered Serpent, and her friend, the young sorceress Tozi, who seeks to sow discord among the Mexicans. The battle of nerves, strategies, brutal military force, and emotions intensifies and heads toward a climax... The middle part of the trilogy once again combines a grand historical narrative of the greatest clash of civilizations in history with elements of fantasy and romantic love.
