About The Book
Description
Author
Davies excels in three areas: his vivid descriptions of jungle and village life; his characterizations especially of secondary characters such as Cuauhtemocs friends and mentors; and his natural-sounding dialogue perhaps the most difficult task for an aspiring author...an otherwise impressive first novel.-BlueInk ReviewThis story takes place in the early 16th Century; a time when the world seemed to be expanding at an almost exponential rate. It occurs in South America in a land known as Maya: this is not a tale of what was but rather a story of what might have been if I had been in charge of that era. The main character Cuauhtemoc is born in a small village in the northwestern part of Maya: the story line follows his life from birth through birdmanschool where he learns to become a birdman and carry messages. The account unwinds telling of his adventures his fights with pirate raiders as well as some of his own people; and by the end of the book he is twelve years of age and is sent to the City of Emperors by the Commander of the soldiers garrison.
