Sinossi
Mexico, 1517. The Aztec capital is awash with fear and rumours. A strange figure has been seen running through the streets. A man with the face of a serpent, his body covered with glittering green feathers: Quetzalcoatl - the Feathered Serpent - the most powerful of the Aztec gods.
Yaotl, the Chief Minister's slave, has more important matters to worry about. Engaged in a desperate search for his son, he's on the run from his vengeful master, Lord Feathered-in-Black. If the Chief Minister catches him, Yaotl can expect a grisly fate.
Attempting to escape his master's bloodthirsty warriors, Yaotl stumbles upon a dismembered, unrecognisable corpse. As he pieces together the clues as to who the dead man was and how he died, Yaotl finds himself drawn into an affair of greed, jealousy and lust among the ancient, secretive society of the feather workers, the Aztec's foremost craftsmen.

Recensione
'It is always a treat to find a writer who has broken out of the mould and ploughed their own furrow. One of the stand-out books from last year was Simon Levack's delicously original whodunit, A DEMON OF THE AIR, set during the Aztec's final years. By turns darkly comic, meticulously descriptive and bloodthirsty, Yaotl the slave is back for a second outing . . . [SHADOW OF THE LORDS] is an exhilirating, fast-paced tale . . . there is plenty of plot, well-rounded characters and some black humour to make this second book a delight' THE HISTORICAL NOVELS REVIEW may issue
