Flight of the Feathered Serpent

Flight of the Feathered Serpent is a story of grand adventure set in 12th century Mexico. Two young Icelanders, William and Lara, flee their northern home and become lost at sea. Surviving a powerful storm, the couple are shipwrecked near the shores of ancient Mexico. The mighty Toltec Empire, pre-cursor to the Aztec Empire, is collapsing. Lara is kidnapped by warriors and carried off to the capitol of the Empire, Tula, where she is to be sacrificed on a stone alter. William is off in hot pursuit to save her! In his pursuit, William befriends the heir to the Empire, and soon finds himself joining the struggle against the evil cult of Tezcatlipoca. The young heir and future Emperor is betrayed and his family killed. William, along with his new friend, are captured and forced to train for battle in the great ball courts of Tula. The games are a mighty spectacle, not unlike the entertainments of ancient Rome at the Coliseum. Only a strong and courageous man and a determined woman can win over the forces gathered to destroy them. They must navigate through this alien world and forge a new life together. Can they succeed?
