ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

He lost everything when his gods were defeated and his city was razed to the ground. Now, he will have to find a way to recover what he treasures the most.

The desire for revenge still beats strongly in the hearts of those who--along with the Spaniards--overthrew the Aztecs and who will not stop until they are all gone.

Opochtli is one of the few eagle warriors who survived the end of the Mexica rebellion. After the defeat, the only thing he wants is to be reunited with his beloved Zayetzi, but in order to return home he will have to cross the regions now controlled by his enemies, who will not hesitate for a second before annihilating him. Along for the risky journey he will have this faithful friend Yuma. Together, they will try to understand if all that devastation is a punishment sent by Huitzilopochtli or if he is merely the result of Tlaloc's petty desire to spill blood on the Earth.

This is a scintillating novel on how, after the destruction of everything he was sure of, a man most make his own way in a reality that is as impermanent as it is hostile, all while he witnesses the birth of a new era.
