Opis

Return of the Plumed Serpent follows immediately from Nights of the Witch with several extraordinary and savage battles, and cunning manoeuvres against the Tlascalans, and then Cortes' extraordinary coup de main of conning Moctezuma into allowing him and his army into Tenochtitlan. With Moctezuma as his puppet Cortes rules the Aztec empire through him. The enormous wealth of the Aztecs and the abundance of gold are now finally in their hands. We see Cortes, his army seriously undermanned against the might of the Aztec army, applying psychological warfare and wins over Moctezuma, no ordinary feat as he is a master of lies and trickery. Cortes and Malinal work together and will play a cunning game of dominance with the Aztec emperor. His daily seance with Huitzilopochtli dismantling his confidence and defeating him psychologically before ever having to face him in battle. It is from Malinal that Cortes learns about the myth of Quetzalcoatl and she shows him how to exploit the prophecy of the god-king's return to weaken Montezuma's resolve and keep alive the useful suspicion that Cortes himself might actually be Quetzalcoatl.
