Con una narrativa apegada a los pensamientos de los habitantes del México antiguo, Sofía Guadarrama Collado nos acerca al otro lado de la Conquista de México.

Motecuzoma Xocoyotzin, arquitecto, poeta versado, sacerdote ferviente, guerrero temerario, político astuto, hombre analítico e injustamente menospreciado por historiadores y novelistas, estuvo al frente del suceso más importante de la historia del continente americano; y consciente del alto riesgo que conllevaba una batalla contra un ejército invencible, por la calidad de sus armas y el avasallador número de tropas aliadas, decidió, para librar a su pueblo de una masacre, adoptar como estrategia un duelo de inteligencias contra un adversario a su altura, Hernán Cortés.

Aware of the danger in waging war against an invincible army because of the quality of their weaponry and the overwhelming number of allied troops, he decided to adopt a different strategy to keep his people from being massacred. He fought a battle of wits with a worthy adversary, Hernán Cortés.
