Dune meets Apocalypto in this blood-soaked fantasy epic inspired by the ancient world of Mesoamerica. The Song of the Feathered Serpent is the thrilling prequel to The Obsidian Blade, weaving a tale of Lovecraftian gods, cursed Nahual lizard-men, and shamanic magic that will shape the fate of Mesozaca. Aztlán, once a prince and heir to a noble lineage, is thrust into a world of darkness when his peaceful oasis village is destroyed by the savage Coyotzin. Taken as a slave and stripped of his birthright, Aztlán must adapt to a brutal life among a clan ruled by blood and sacrifice. But deep within him burns the story his mother told him—the legend of Quetzalan, the Feathered Serpent, a god whose song once brought life to the desert but was lost to human greed. As Aztlán is forced into the cruel ways of the Coyotzin, he uncovers the ancient horrors of the Nahual, men twisted into monstrous lizards by long-forgotten curses, and the lurking presence of Lovecraftian gods whose influence threatens to consume the land. With shamanic magic stirring in his blood and the power of ancient myths guiding him, Aztlán’s journey from enslaved prince to warrior will set the stage for the rise of the Obsidian Empire. A gripping prelude to The Obsidian Blade, The Song of the Feathered Serpent blends grimdark fantasy with the mysticism of Mesoamerican mythology. This is a tale of survival, vengeance, and cosmic terror, perfect for fans of dark fantasy and epic worldbuilding. Prepare to enter a world where gods walk among mortals, and the price of power is paid in blood.
