Items related to Arrows of Fire
It is October 1519 -- and the Mexican empire is on the brink.
Hernán Cortés leads an army of Spaniards and their native allies to Moctezoma's capital. Moctezoma believes the only way to save his empire is to heed the God of War and sacrifice Flower, a beautiful woman warrior, in exchange for protection from the invaders.
But a different faction -- the resistance -- wants to overthrow Moctezoma and go to war against the invaders. The resistance has other plans for Flower -- if they can only help her escape before Moctezoma offers her as a sacrifice.
Will Flower make it out in time to join the resistance? Or will Moctezoma carry out a centuries-old practice of human sacrifice?

From the Back Cover:
From the Inside Flap:
- "The knowledge that these strangers have departed Cholula and soon will arrive in Tenochtitlan renders me incapable of performing many of my duties; thus, I have given over the majority of them to my brother, except praying and offering sacrifices to the gods. I even have a covenant with Huitzilopochtli that, as long as I offer Him what I value most, a young woman named Treasured Flower of My Heart, he guarantees these invaders will not annihilate us."-- Moctezoma
- "I turned to run, but the men seized me again. Followed by the priestesses, they took me to the entrance of a building and dragged me through an open door and into a room with no windows that had a pallet on the floor. I cried and said I wanted my mama and papa. There were torches placed on stands, and the room was bright and hot. Drops of perspiration formed on my forehead and on my upper lip. The men forced me down on the mattress until two priestesses replaced them. Then the men left, and all the women worked together to hold me down."-- Flower
- "We ascended to forests of mixed pine trees, full of deer, bobcats, and alpine rabbits; then, we climbed up, into the snow and barren lands, to reach the col. I ordered everyone to halt so we could savor the superb view of Tenochtitlan, surrounded by the blue waters of Lake Texcoco, and my heart beat fast, knowing I was close to the seat of Montezuma's empire."-- Hernán Cortés
It's October 1519, and Cortés has invaded Moctezoma's empire, part of the Triple Alliance that rules one of the most advanced civilizations in history.
In this story, Moctezoma orders his henchmen to kidnap a girl named Flower from her family and imprison her so she can learn to impersonate a warrior goddess and, unbeknown to her, ultimately be sacrificed to the God of War. Moctezoma becomes obsessed with the beautiful Flower and is torn between keeping her as a concubine or offering her to the God of War. But now Cortés nears Tenochtitlan, the Mexican capital, and Moctezoma commands Flower be brought to him so he can perform the cold-blooded ritual sacrifice.
Arrows of Fire takes the reader inside the conquest of Mexico and the brutality of both Cortés and Moctezoma and illustrates the mightiness of the human spirit and the resilient power of hope.
