It occurs in South America in a land known as Maya: this is not a tale of what was, but rather, a story of what might have been if I had been in charge of that era. The main character, Cuauhtemoc, is born in a small village in the northwestern part of Maya: the story line follows his life from birth, through birdmanschool, where he learns to become a birdman and carry messages. The account unwinds, telling of his adventures, his fights with pirate raiders as well as some of his own people; and by the end of the book he is twelve years of age and is sent to the City of Emperors by the Commander of the soldier’s garrison.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Urlink Print \u0026 Media, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48148473282801,"sku":"9781643678474","price":11.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9781643678474_p0.jpg?v=1778256631","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781643678474","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
