The Lost city of Technochtitlan

Tzinacanus, a 16-year-old prince of the Tracamictlan region, has trained all his life for the day he might have to defend his people. But nothing could prepare him for the day the Portuguese colonial forces arrive, bringing fire, steel, and death. When his father-the chief of Tracamictlan-is brutally killed, Tzinacanus is forced to flee, leaving everything he knows behind.

On a perilous journey to the Aztec capital, the lost city of Technochtitlan, he must navigate treacherous lands, outsmart the invaders, and gather allies, all while growing into the leader his people desperately need. As the Portuguese are diplomatically welcomed into the capital, Tzinacanus senses the looming betrayal and prepares for a battle that could destroy everything he loves.

In a story of courage, loyalty, and sacrifice, one boy must rise against overwhelming odds to defend his heritage-but even heroes cannot always save what is most precious.
