Set against the backdrop of Tenochtitlan in 1519, this novel explores the fateful encounter between conquistador Hernán Cortés and Emperor Moctezuma, highlighting the collision of two empires. The story features Cortés's captains, particularly Jazmín Caldera, who grapples with the city's grandeur and the looming dangers of conquest. With rich characters like the translators Friar Aguilar and Malinalli, the narrative transforms the moment of conquest into a revolutionary act, blending history with hallucinatory elements to create a vivid reimagining of this pivotal event.
