Synopsis
Told through the eyes of Malinali, an Aztec noblewoman sold into slavery and later taken by Hernán Cortés as his translator, this novel recreates the Spanish conquest of Mexico. Revered by some as the symbolic mother of a new nation and reviled by others as a traitor, she must choose sides as gods, prophecy and gunpowder bring an empire down.
