Description
A gripping mystery steeped in ancient Aztec magic and intrigue. In Tenochtitlan, human sacrifice and the power of living blood are necessary to keep the sun in the sky and the earth fertile. When a Priestess disappears under mysterious circumstances, Acatl, High Priest of the Dead, is drawn into a complex web of politics and magic.
As he delves deeper into the case, Acatl must navigate the treacherous world of noblemen, soldiers, and priests, all while confronting his own troubled past. The further he investigates, the more he realizes that the line between magic and politics is perilously thin.
A riveting tale of murder, sibling rivalry, and the power of ancient cultures, Servant of the Underworld is a fresh and captivating fantasy novel that will transport you to 15th century Tenochtitlan. Highly recommended for fans of mystery and historical fiction.
