Children of the Sun the Fall of the Aztecs

Children of the Sun is an epic retelling of the Conquest of Mexico from the Aztec point of view, and a breath-taking story of courage and loyalty, treachery and deceit. Peopled with a huge cast of characters from the agonised Emperor himself and his headstrong daughter to the enigmatic conquistador Hernan Cortes, this is a richly imagined recreation of one of history's most extraordinary civilisations and a heart-breaking lament for its fall.

  • "Montezuma - emperor, high priest, family man and poet - is wracked with anxiety. News has come of strange, pale-skinned men who have landed on the eastern shores of Mexico. They ride hideous stags, fight with smoke-belching sticks and are hungry for land and gold. But could their leader, Montezuma wonders, be the Plumed Serpent himself, the god Quetzalcoatl, whose return has been foretold in Aztec prophecy? Should he destroy the strangers, or worship them unconditionally? The fate of an empire lies in his hands."
