As his thin boots sloshed through the cocoon of tropic and his mud-slick face burned in the heat, Juán's chest twisted in realization.
He was a conquistador.
Just like the man whose blood churned within him.
...
When an unforeseen betrayal lands Juan Gascón serving under Hernán Cortés during the conquest of México, the realization of what cause he is truly aiding begins to dawn on him.
But even though chaos and bloodshed rage around him, the inner turmoil quaking his psyche is even greater--that he is just like his father.
And that there is nothing he can do about it.

Of the Sea

Unlike him, she stayed well away from the water's edge and out of its grasp, immersed in the sorrow of her loss. But what little the ocean did give back, a man of myth with the tail of a fish, could reveal more about the secrets to a harrowing conspiracy brewing below the surface.Complete

A Larvikite for a Soul
"Hey! Can't you stop for like five minutes? I have so many questions and you keep going on and on." I yelled at him. He turned around and proceeded to come toward me, fuming in anger. I instinctively started taking steps backwards until my back touched the wall. He came towards me and caged me, whispering in anger "Really? And why, pray tell me, should I answer them." ***** Hi!
