Excerpt from The Fall of Tollan
One storied moment, while that kings of yore Rise up in phantom state, or princesses, Begarlanded with flowers, with raven hair That drooping wondrously o'er chiselled arms Is caught with gold and glitters in the sun; Or while the splendid pomp of savage men Sweeps by with flare of jewel, trail of dust; Or naked bards touch light their golden harps To hymn the music of a hero's deeds For this one moment would I hold your thought.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. In this deeply evocative historical novel set in ancient Mesoamerica, we accompany Quetzal, a wise and valiant leader of the thriving city of Tollan. However, the city's prosperity is put to the test when Tezca, an ambitious and cunning prince, returns from exile bent on seizing power. As tension brews between Quetzal and Tezca, the author explores timeless themes of ambition, betrayal, and the struggle between progress and tradition. The novel's vivid descriptions of pre-Columbian culture and the epic battles between Quetzal's forces and the invading Nahuatl people add to the richness of this thought-provoking tale. Ultimately, the author's depiction of the fall of Tollan carries a poignant reminder of the fragility of human civilizations and the enduring power of legacy.
