Demon of the air

Mexico , 1517. The Aztec Empire.

The Emperor Montezuma rules by fear. Temples run with the blood of human sacrifice. In this brutal world a free man can sell himself into slavery. Escaping a troubled past, Yaotl has chosen to become a slave to the Chief Minister, Montezuma's unscrupulous right hand man.

Strange things are happening. The sacrificial victim Yaotl was ordered to escort has leapt to his death, uttering sinister prophecies before the priests could cut out his heart. The Emperor feels threatened. Mysterious strangers have appeared in the East. Visions disturb his dreams. His soothsayers cannot interpret them.

When the soothsayers vanish, Montezuma senses a connection with the bizarre suicide, and orders Yaotl to follow the trail - in defiance of his own master. What Yaotl uncovers will unlock nightmares from his own youth - and threaten the future of everything he knows...
