Volume II the Blood of the Gods, Tlacatecólotl

In the shadows of the Mexica empire's collapse, the gods are no longer worshipped, the temples lie in ruins, and the memory of resistance begins to fade beneath indifference and silence. Yet, not everything has been forgotten. Hidden among jungles, deserts, and cities built upon the bones of the ancient world, the mystic priests-guardians of the sacred-still survive. And some, like Arhirani, the Purépecha necromancer, dare to fight back.Tlacatecólotl, the second book in the epic saga that began with Ayecan, follows five powerful souls who rise from the ashes of spiritual conquest to protect what remains of their people's sacred knowledge. As the invaders impose their foreign faith and dismantle ancestral traditions, these last sages embark on a perilous path. Armed not with armies, but with divine gifts, they will face both demons of flesh and ghosts of the past.In their search for allies and in confrontation with the inquisitorial forces led by the feared Diego de Landa, a deeper truth is revealed: the greatest battle is not fought with weapons, but with memory, dignity, and the will to exist.This novel is a fierce cry against historical erasure-a vivid tapestry woven with Indigenous magic, African resistance, and the brutality of colonization. A journey into the spiritual world, where the line between life and death is as thin as a whisper.Perfect for readers of mythic fantasy, historical epics, and decolonial fiction, Tlacatecólotl is more than a sequel.
