Summary
A young girl called Tozi stands at the bottom of a pyramid, waiting to be led to the top where her heart will be cut out....
Pepillo, a Spanish orphan who serves a sadistic Dominican friar, is aboard the Spanish fleet as it sails towards Mexico.... This is the epic story of the clash of two empires, two armies and two gods of war.
Five hundred desperate adventurers are about to pit themselves against the most brutal armies of the ancient Americas, armies hundreds of thousands strong. This is a war of gods and men.
Dark powers that work behind the scenes of history show their hand as the prophecy of the return of Quetzalcoatl is fulfilled with the arrival of Cortes. The Aztec ruler Moctezuma fights to maintain the demands of the war god Huitzilopochtli for human sacrifice. The Spanish Inquisition is planning an even greater blood-letting.
Caught up in the headlong collision between two gods of war are Tozi, Pepillo and the beautiful sex slave Malinal whose hatred of Moctezuma runs so deep she will sell out her own land and people to destroy him.

Unbelievably good!!
I have had over 300 audiable books over the last few years, classics (from historical Coln Iggldeon and Simon Sparrows to the R R Haywoods Undead series - and everything else he has done) , sci-fi, murder mystery, full casts, and recently had a major motorcycle accident and been listening to audiable back to back for many, many months.. I am aware of Graham and his research and TV shows and decided to give this a go - intrigued that with his research and direct experience of South America tribes may make his take on this relatively well known period of history a bit more interesting. Forget that. Forget what his views are or if he’s a crank or visionary. HE IS ONE HELL OF A STORY TELLER!!!! I have been utterly shocked and hooked at how good a writer he actually is!! And incredibly well narrated. I’m only 5 hours in on the 1st book but it’s like discovering Dune or LoTR for the first time. YES it’s that good.

Simply amazing
I usual read fantasy and sci fi. If I do read historical fiction it tends to be Wilber Smith or James Clavell who I rate up there With Frank Herbert and Tolkien. This reminded me of a James Clavell novel. Great Characters well realised, each with believable motivation and a real sense of the time and place they find themselves in. I've got so many great sequels to buy, but I got the sequel to this straight away and my next credit will be the last book in the trilogy. I regret not finding this series sooner. I will probably add it to my small list of series I listen to again (and again and again).

confusing.
The story was absolutely brilliant , well written and I am eager for the next installment. The reading was perfect and Mr Edwards has a beautiful and alluring voice, I was very much drawn to his reading style and the timbre of his voice. Such a sexy voice and very tempting. Well written Mr Hancock, your previous books were excellent also and vastly entertaining.

Compelling Historical Fiction, Excellent Narration
This book, the first in what is currently a trilogy, is definitely in my top three of 'fictional books that I have ever had the pleasure of listening to' (No mean feat). You may not struggle too hard to guess the other two. Okay so it is not entirely fiction, a lot of it is based on historical fact, but all of the story lines of the people involved are compelling and as the stories evolve the author has allowed us to love and hate almost every character, in fact you may find yourself 'jumping ship' and siding with your original enemy on many occasions before 'jumping back' again and again. Each to his own. In my humble opinion this is a very clever, compelling and absorbing book, as is the rest of the series, written by a very intelligent human being. To add insult to injury the narrator is the perfect man for the job and again is one of the best that I have listened to. All in all the combination of Author and Narrator really does make this the next audiobook you must listen to.
