Metzi and the Eagle

The fifth volume in this series of historical books is about love and the struggle against something that seems normal to everyone.

When Metzi learns that her brother must win the ballgame Tlachtli to avoid being sacrificed to the gods, she puts all her efforts into preventing this sacrifice. She tries to make Cuauhtemoc, the Aztec leader, see that these gruesome sacrifices lead nowhere. But that’s very difficult. Fortunately, she still has a trump card: Pandeon, the eagle she has been hiding from everyone for months.
