The Seven Serpents Trilogy (1979) - Plot & Excerpts
Kukulcán was not born a god but became one because of his humble and compassionate life. For several centuries he ruled over the great nation of the Maya, then mysteriously disap peared, promising to return. In The Captive, the first book of this chronicle, Julián Escobar, a young Spanish seminarian, is cast away among the Maya and by chance and cunning assumes the guise of the returning god. The Feathered Serpent continues his story, first with the Maya and then the Azteca, during the days when Hernán Cortés and a few hundred soldiers conquered the mighty emperor Moctezuma, who could summon an army of a million warriors with one blast from a conch-shell horn. The Amethyst Ring follows the fortunes of Kukulcán, Lord of the Wind of Knives, after he leaves the Maya and joins Francisco Pizarro in the land of the Inca. The ancient Incan city of Machu Picchu, with its secret Temple of the Sun, was never discovered by Pizarro. It was first seen some three hundred years later by an American explorer.
