+ Want to read

Mysticism, shape-changing, art and brutal religiosity are melded in this vivid tale of a seldom-plumbed time and place—the Aztec Empire at its height, before the arrival of European invaders. Drawing on unusual and powerful symbols, Bell brings a vanished civilization to life in this unusual fantasy.—Publishers Weekly.
