Mexico-Tenochtitlan, in the year Twelve-House: the vast, teeming city of the Aztecs at the height of its glory. As the novel opens, the Chief Minister's trusted slave Yaotl is escorting a sacrificial victim up the steps of the Great Pyramid to celebrate the Festival of the Raising of Banners. Used to the bloodstained rites of the War-God's priests, Yaotl is unperturbed at the ritual slaughter of the so-called Flowery Death. When the victim runs amok and leaps to his death before he can be sacrificed, Yaotl's only worry is how to explain it to his master. But when more bodies start to appear and the Emperor Montezuma starts asking questions about the sorcerers who have vanished from his impregnable prison, Yaotl realises he needs answers soon. The secrets he uncovers will unlock nightmares from his own youth and threaten the future of everything he knows.

Zustand: Fair. : En el año Doce-Casa, en México-Tenochtitlán, la vasta y bulliciosa ciudad de los aztecas en el apogeo de su gloria, Yaotl, el esclavo de confianza del Primer Ministro, escolta a una víctima sacrificial por los escalones de la Gran Pirámide para celebrar el Festival del Levantamiento de Banderas. Yaotl está acostumbrado a los ritos manchados de sangre de los sacerdotes del Dios de la Guerra, y no le perturba la matanza ritual de la llamada Muerte Florida. Cuando la víctima se vuelve loca y salta a la muerte antes de poder ser sacrificada, la única preocupación de Yaotl es cómo explicárselo a su amo. Pero cuando empiezan a aparecer más cadáveres y el emperador Moctezuma empieza a hacer preguntas sobre los hechiceros que han desaparecido de su prisión inexpugnable, Yaotl se da cuenta de que necesita respuestas pronto. Los secretos que descubra desatarán pesadillas de su propia juventud y amenazarán el futuro de todo lo que conoce.
