Prince of the West: A Novel Pre-Columbian Discovery

A PRINCE WITH NOTHING LEFT TO INHERIT. A SHORE NO MAP HAD EVER RECORDED. At twelve years old, Iudila is Count of Corduba and nephew to the King of the Visigoths - until pirates take his ship and erase every one of his titles in a single night. Years of captivity forge him into a sailor and a survivor, with a crew of outcasts who become the only family he has left. When a shipwreck strands them on an unmapped shore, Iudila finds a war already in progress. Chakin, heir to a Maya kingdom, is fighting her own uncle for the right to rule her people - and Iudila's arrival collides with her rebellion at the worst possible moment. What the two of them uncover together is bigger than either of their thrones: an ancient bloodline linking the Old World to the New, sealed in secrets neither civilization knew the other was keeping. PRINCE OF THE WEST is sweeping, unflinching historical adventure - a shipwreck epic, a clash of two worlds, and a reckoning that costs both of them everything they thought they still had left to lose. For readers of Bernard Cornwell and Gary Jennings's Aztec - historical fiction that doesn't soften what conquest and captivity actually cost. Note: this novel is intended for adult readers and includes intense and mature content.
