Celebrated Spanish writer Jos? ?ngel Ma?as makes his English-language debut with Guerrero, a novel based on the real-life Spanish conquistador Gonzalo Guerrero, who defied Cort?s and fought against Spain with his adopted Mayan tribe.

In January 1512, a caravel full of gold and Indian slaves sinks in a fierce storm. A small group of survivors including Guerrero wash up on a beach in Yucat?n. Captured by Cocome Mayans, some are sacrificed; the rest are enslaved. Two survive: the young priest Jer?nimo de Aguilar and the seasoned soldier Guerrero. They are redeemed by the rival and more sympathetic Tutul Xi?e Mayans. Jer?nimo clings to his prayerbook, while Gonzalo becomes fascinated with Mayan culture and religion, joining with his new Mayan family to fight against Spanish conquest. For his crime, he is wiped from the record books of colonial Spain. Though little is known of Guerrero today, in this masterful short novel he becomes a larger-than-life figure of resistance and honor.
