The Sun Rises in the East

WHAT IF THE FATE OF CONTINENTS HAD BEEN REVERSED?The year is 1600. The world is not as the history books tell it. The Confederation of the Two Suns, an unstoppable alliance between the Mexica and Inca empires, has crossed the Great Water to claim the lands of Old Europe. From the shores of Ireland to the fortresses of Galicia, the banner of the eagle and serpent flies where the cross once reigned.Citlali Cuauhtémoc, a captain marked by the shadow of her legendary father, receives the most dangerous mission of her life: sail to the heart of the Ottoman Empire to forge an alliance that could erase the Christian kingdoms from the map forever.Aboard the Quetzal-Atl, Citlali will face more than storms and enemy fleets. Among her crew sail the seeds of betrayal: Tezcatl, an Incan astronomer who questions her every order. Malinali, a spy with secret orders that could destroy the captain. Ailín, an Irish slave seeking her freedom in the cracks between two warring empires.In this epic alternate history, José Lorente plunges us into a voyage of ambition, glory, and clashing civilizations where the question is not who will win the war, but what will remain of their humanity when the sun finally sets.Perfect for fans of The Man in the High Castle, Civilizaciones by Laurent Binet, and epic seafaring adventure narratives.
