In 1519 Hernán Cortés lands on the coast of Mexico with a small Spanish force and an ambition far greater than his authority. Among the women transferred to his expedition is Malinali, later known as La Malinche, whose languages and political understanding make her indispensable as the Spaniards seek allies against Moctezuma's empire.
Their partnership advances through negotiation, battle and betrayal toward Tenochtitlan. Also published as Aztec, the novel presents the conquest through competing desires for power, survival and revenge while retaining the scale of the Indigenous alliances and losses that made Spanish victory possible.
