Princess Izta does not want jewels, power, or a grand match chosen for her. She loves Popoca, a brave warrior who promises to stay by her side.
The emperor gives Popoca a dangerous task: defeat the enemy warrior Jaguar Claw, and he may marry Izta. But legends are shaped by loyalty, jealousy, and choices made in moments of great danger. This retelling of a Mexican legend leads readers toward the story behind the volcanoes Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl, which still rise near Mexico City.
With dramatic pacing, Nahuatl words, and artwork inspired by ancient forms, Duncan Tonatiuh brings romance, bravery, and cultural history together in a striking picture-book legend.
