This book is the memoir of an unnamed Englishman who becomes ensnared in the machinations of King Henry VIII's court and is subsequently thrust into the heart of a Spanish conquest in Central and South America in the 16th century. On a mission from the king to the Pope in Rome, he is shipwrecked and stranded with a group of Spanish conquistadors led by the ruthless yet determined Francisco Pizarro, who seeks the riches of a rumored vast Incan Empire. Through the author's eyes, we witness the brutality, greed, and human cost of Pizarro's conquest, as well as the resilience, courage, and spiritual beliefs of the indigenous peoples who fought to protect their land.
