Klappentext
In January 1512, a caravel full of gold and Indian slaves sinks in a fierce storm. A small group of survivors including Guerrero wash up on a beach in Yucatâan. Captured by Cocome Mayans, some are sacrificed; the rest are enslaved. Two survive: the young priest Jerâonimo de Aguilar and the seasoned soldier Guerrero. They are redeemed by the rival and more sympathetic Tutul Xiâue Mayans. Jerâonimo clings to his prayerbook, while Gonzalo becomes fascinated with Mayan culture and religion, joining with his new Mayan family to fight against the Spanish conquest. For his crime, he is wiped from the record books of colonial Spain."--Provided by publisher. José Ángel Mañas
