4After the death of Tezozomoc, the rivalry between the manors of the Anahuac Valley increased, and no one escaped the violence, betrayal or the struggle for power. In Azcapotzalco, Maxtla rules with absolute cruelty. In Tenochtitlan, while Izcóatl is anointed, the cunning Tlacaélel waits behind the scenes to consolidate his influence. In this second novel of the Great Tlatoanis series of the empire, Sofía Guadarrama Collado combines the portrait of the daily life of rulers, soldiers and concubines with the techniques of the political thriller. The result is an exciting story about men who, by force of ambition and political finesse, dominated the central territory of what is now Mexico.
