STRAR SU PODER Y GRANDEZA ANTES DE QUE SEA DEMASIADO TARDE...

Tenochtitlan, 1520. El buen trato que Motecuhzoma ha concedido a los castellanos desde su llegada provoca sospechas entre los mexicas. Como gesto de confianza, el huey tlahtoani entrega varias doncellas de noble cuna a los forasteros para que la armonía siga reinando en el imperio. Una de ellas es Citlalli, joven aguerrida que deberá complacer y obedecer las órdenes de Gonzalo, capitán de rodeleros. Convencida de la importancia de su papel para mantener la paz, Citlalli faltará a la promesa que le hizo a su amado Cuauhtli, un destacado guerrero tenochca de origen plebeyo con quien planeaba huir para salvar su amor. Sin embargo, la paz es solo aparente y muy endeble. Cuando Pedro de Alvarado aprovecha la ausencia de Cortés para perpetrar una matanza en el Templo Mayor, cualquier posible alianza quedará anulada y los mexicas deberán luchar por mantener su hegemonía y su honor.

Conflictos políticos, batallas épicas, intrigas y romance son los protagonistas de La última victoria mexica, una ambiciosa novela en la que el rigor histórico y la ficción se entrelazan para ofrecer uno de los relatos más apasionantes sobre los días previos a la Noche Triste.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

THE MEXICA EMPIRE WILL HAVE TO DISPLAY ITS POWER AND GREATNESS BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE...

Tenochtitlan, 1520. The fine treatment Motecuhzoma has given Castilians since their arrival rouses suspicion amongst the Mexica people. As a gesture of trust, the huey tlahtoani delivers several noble maidens to the foreigners, so harmony may prevail across the empire. One of them is Citlalli, a fierce young woman who must now please Gonzalo, captain of the Spanish sword and buckler infantry, and obey his commands. Convinced of the importance of her role in maintaining peace, Citlali will break the promise she made her love, Cuauhtli, skilled Tenochca warrior of humble origins, with whom she had planned to run away with to save their love. However, peace is only apparent and terribly frail. When Pedro de Alvarado takes advantage of Cortés' absence to perpetrate a massacre at the Templo Mayor, any possible alliance will then be null and the Mexica must fight to keep their hegemony and their honor.

Political conflict, epic battles, intrigue, and romance are the protagonists of The Last Mexica Victory, an ambitious novel where historical rigor and fiction intertwine to present one of the most passionate tales about the days leading up to the Noche Triste.
