Mystery

Mexico, 1517. Engaged in a desperate search for his son, Yaotl, the Chief Minister's slave, is on the run from his vengeful master, the all-powerful Lord Feathered-in-Black. Attempting to escape he stumbles upon a dismembered, unrecognizable corpse. As he pieces together the clues to who the dead man was and how he died, Yaotl finds himself drawn into an affair of greed, jealousy and lust among the ancient, secretive society of the feather workers, the Aztecs' foremost craftsmen. And, as he is to discover, the answers to those clues will provide the key to the search for his son. But before he can solve the mystery, Yaotl will need his wits about him simply to stay alive —for Lord Feathered-in-Black and his henchmen are never far away.
