A forgotten legacy. A name erased from history. The voice of the first mestizo.
A mysterious descendant of Hernán Cortés and La Malinche contacts the author to examine an ancient family manuscript. Within its pages lies the memory of MartÃn Cortés MalintzÃn -knight of the Order of Santiago and captain in the Spanish Tercios- who at last decides to tell his story in his own voice.
Trained in the courts of King Charles I and his son Philip II, MartÃn rose to honor and glory before returning to New Spain, where his name would awaken suspicion and fear. Soldier, courtier, and heir to a divided bloodline, his fate was marked by loyalty, ambition, and betrayal.
Mestizo brings to life the extraordinary story of the son of Hernán Cortés and La Malinche -a tale of power, identity, and redemption.
