500 men against a million. Yucatan, 1519: Consumed with ambition, Hernan Cortes sails from Cuba to explore the coast of the lands to the west. He takes prisoner a young Mayan princess, Malinali, whose father has been murdered by the Mexica on the orders of their emperor, Montezuma. She hungers for revenge. Their journey to the heart of ancient Mexico and the eventual conquest of the Aztec nation is one of the most astonishing and tragic stories in history. Cortes has his conquest and Malinali has her revenge - but neither of them could foresee the cost for the country - or for themselves. FEATHERED SERPENT stayed on the Mexican bestseller lists for four months. Colin Falconer's EPIC ADVENTURE SERIES of stand-alone tales draws inspiration from many periods of history: Visit the fabled city of Xanadu, the Aztec temples of ancient Mexico, or the mountain strongholds of the legendary Cathars. Glimpse Julius Caesar in the sweat and press of the Roman Forum, ride a war elephant in the army of Alexander the Great, or follow Suleiman the Magnificent into the forbidden palace of his harem. 3,000+ pages. 2000+ five-star reviews.

Isabella
Obey your husband. Make him love you. This is your duty to me and to France. With these words, King Philippe of France sent Princess Isabella to marry the dashing King Edward of England. She's determined to fulfill her father's injunction, but once wed, the young queen quickly abandons her romantic illusions: her husband has a secret, one that will stand between them and threatens to plunge England into civil war. As lonely Isabella grows into womanhood amid the deadly maelstrom of Edward's court, she rises above her despair and uses her clever mind and political acumen to unite the country. But when tensions with France rise, the young queen faces an impossible choice. From bestselling author Colin Falconer comes the little-known story of a queen who took control of her destiny--and the throne.
