Maya, the young daughter of an Aztec leader, lives peacefully: there is a loving family nearby, a familiar way of life, and a business that brings her joy. She can’t imagine that one day this world will collapse.
But conquistadors land on the shore of Tabasco. Realizing that clashes are unavoidable, her father decides to save his daughter and sends her to a stronger, fortified city. From that moment, Maya’s journey begins— a journey filled with fear and despair, but above all with hope.
The Spaniard Alejandro can’t resist her beauty. Between them seems to stretch an unbreakable boundary, yet he is ready to go to the end just to be near her.
“Snake and Flower” is both a woman’s view of one of the largest military campaigns of the era of Mexico’s colonization and a love story—fragile, tender, and forbidden.
