The end of one world. The birth of another. A woman who must choose between humanity and divinity.
Year 849 CE. Classical Maya civilisation crumbles beneath a devastating drought that has dried sacred cenotes and reduced the great cities to ghostly ruins. In Yaxmuul, the last prosperous city, Ix Chel Itzamnaaj B'alam unexpectedly ascends to the throne when her father dies guarding secrets that could save or damn her people.
Facing an unprecedented crisis, the young empress must navigate:
- ✦ Waves of desperate refugees from collapsed cities
- ✦ Political betrayals that have been brewing for generations
- ✦ Cosmic forces altering the fundamental laws of reality
- ✦ The need to choose between preserving ancestral traditions or embracing transformation that could cost her humanity
An epic of transformation and survival that combines:
- Meticulous archaeological research into the real Maya collapse
- Cultural authenticity in every detail of rituals, politics and daily life
- Political tension worthy of Game of Thrones
- Fantastical elements inspired by authentic Maya cosmology
- Human drama about love, sacrifice and the impossible decisions of leadership
The Last Maya Empress is the novel historical fiction lovers have been waiting for: a work that honours one of the world's most fascinating civilisations whilst exploring universal themes about change, cultural identity and the price of power.
An epic story about how a civilisation learned to die and be reborn without losing its soul.
Perfect for readers of:
- Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel
- The Last Kingdom series by Bernard Cornwall
- Circe by Madeline Miller
- Aztec by Gary Jennings
