Overview

What if the Aztecs had discovered Europe first? In a world where history took a different turn, the mighty Confederation of the Two Suns-an alliance between the Mexica and Inca Empires-has crossed the Atlantic and established colonies across Europe. Ireland falls. Galicia bows. The Canary Islands fly the banner of Tenochtitlan. Now, Christian Europe trembles as three hundred warships gather to expel the invaders in one final, desperate crusade. Captain Citlali Cuauhtémoc has one chance to change everything. Haunted by her legendary father's shadow and driven by an insatiable hunger for glory, Citlali commands the Quetzal-Atl on the most dangerous mission in the Confederation's history: sail across hostile waters to Istanbul and forge an alliance with the Ottoman Empire. Success means crushing European resistance forever. Failure means the annihilation of her people. But glory comes at a terrible price. As Portuguese warships hunt her through treacherous seas, as spies whisper treason within her own crew, and as thousands of lives hang in the balance, Citlali must choose: return home to save her colonies from imminent destruction, or press forward toward immortal fame while her people burn.
