Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of two unknown individuals, Juan Lerma and Gaspar Olea, whose lives were intertwined with the fall of the Aztec Empire. As Hernan Cortes advances on the Aztec capital, Juan draws the general's ire by drawing his sword in defense of a fellow soldier, an act that ultimately leads to his imprisonment and the suspicion of high treason. Meanwhile, Cortes, wounded and surrounded in battle, owes his life to Gaspar's courageous intervention. Motivated by gratitude and solidarity, Gaspar remains by Juan's side, defying the captain-general's suspicions. The author uses these two characters to offer an introspective view of the broader conflict, questioning the nature of heroism, loyalty, and the many faces of betrayal. This book gives readers a chance to re-examine the complexities of history, shedding light on a lesser-known side of the infamous Hernan Cortes and the fall of the Aztec civilization.
