Soon, one of Cortés’s captains, Jazmín Caldera, begins to question the ease with which they were welcomed, and wonders at the risks of getting out alive, much less conquering the empire.Moctezuma himself is at a political, spiritual and physical crossroads, relying on hallucinogens in a quest for any kind of answer from the gods. When Cortés and Moctezuma meet, two worlds, empires, languages, and possible futures collide.You Dreamed of Empires brings to life Tenoxtitlan at its height – and reimagines its destiny.It sets afire the moment of conquest and turns it into a moment of revolution, in a novel so electric and so unique that it feels like a dream.Translated by Natasha Wimmer'A mischievous fantasy' TLSA NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY TOP TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEARRelease Year: 2025 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
