Embark on the inaugural installment of a romantic trilogy, delving into a fantastical realm inspired by ancient pre-Columbian civilizations. When Emperor Xica receives word of his sole heir's execution at the hands of his Mezťan adversaries, he opts to repudiate his current wife and seek a new consort. Each of the empire's eight provinces nominates a young woman to partake in the Ayotl - an unforgiving contest where, after enduring three rigorous trials, the victor ascends to the throne.
For the candidates, failure is not an option, as death looms as the consequence. Among them is Zina, a mere twenty years of age, arriving in Tenoc, the imperial capital, under the guise of Ayotl participation. Yet, her true motive lies elsewhere: a year prior, the emperor condemned her sister, Nawi, for alleged treason, and Zina is determined to uncover the truth. Utilizing the tournament as a facade, she infiltrates the emperor's inner circle, navigating perilous trials while risking exposure of her own secrets. Matters complicate further when Zina finds herself entangled in a forbidden romance with the emperor's illegitimate son.
