An epic novel tells the story of an Aztec named Dark Cloud—one who witnessed both the flowering of the Aztec empire and the arrival of the first white people in Central America, as well as the tragic end of the great empire.
All these events are set against the backdrop of his life, love, numerous adventures, and losses. Together with Dark Cloud, the reader will travel along the military and trade roads of that time, learn about the cruel and bloody customs of the Aztecs, and about the invasion of no less brutal conquistadors led by Cortés.
