The Aztec Princess and the Warrior

by Nancy McKibbin

Overview

Both are separated by their social circumstances: she lives in a palace that has its own private zoo, while Huemac, is an aspiring jaguar warrior. As for the Emperor, Montezuma II, he is worried as it has been predicted that in the year of the first reed, 'Quetzalcoatl,' the feathered serpent, would return as a bearded white man. That man turns out to be Cortes and the Spanish are hungry for all things gold. When Cortes leaves Pedrode in charge to attend another matter, the Spanish then plunder the city of its wealth, desecrating the temples and killing Aztecs. Can they survive the war and disease that spreads its germs all over the Empire? Furthermore, when the volcano erupts, will the Aztec's Empire crumble into the bloodied soil it has built its empire on?

About the Author

I was born in the 1960s, in Montreal, Canada, but came to Australia when very young. I love travelling, going to the beach and gym. I also love teaching, reading and writing. I am the mother of three adult children and a grandmother to 4 young children.

I have always loved books since I first discovered them in the school's library and read voraciously Enid Blyton, Hans Christian Anderson and Oscar Wilde. It wasn't long before I started writing, sporadically, in my mid-teens. Later at university, I explored and loved the world of English literature.

As I am a primary school teacher, my philosophy is that all kids need to read, not just to build their reading and comprehension skills but also to provide fuel for their imagination- good imagination equates with empathetic, human beings with a creative mind that can be used to solve complex, future, world problems.
