Hernán Cortés and the Conquest of Mexico - Paperback

by Manolo Palomares (Author)

An impossible city. A conqueror willing to risk everything. A woman caught between two worlds.

In 1519, Hernán Cortés lands on the shores of an unknown territory. His ambition drives him to defy the gods, destiny, and the mighty Aztec Empire itself. Through jungles, volcanoes, and lakes, he will fight wars, endure betrayals, and witness human sacrifice. Amid the storm rises Doña Marina-La Malinche-his interpreter and ally, a woman capable of building a bridge between two civilizations.

Across the seat of power, Moctezuma, the huey tlatoani, watches the arrival of the bearded men as a fatal omen. Between the emperor and the conqueror, an impossible alliance takes shape-a prelude to tragedy.

Based on the testimonies of the protagonists and grounded in rigorous historical research, this novel brings to life the Conquest of Mexico with emotion and authenticity.

​​​​​​​An epic tale of faith, ambition, and destiny that forever changed history.
