Focusing on the complex nature of Aztec society, the book delves into the often-misunderstood practice of human sacrifice, presenting it as a significant aspect of their culture rather than a mere horror. It offers a nuanced view that emphasizes the humanity of the Aztecs, while integrating gender studies and exploring their daily lives. This fresh interpretation seeks to provide a deeper understanding of the social and religious dynamics that shaped the Aztec civilization.
