In the rich and powerful mythological world of the Aztecs, death was not an end—it was a journey. Life was part of a sacred cycle of destruction and rebirth, of night and sun, of shadow and flame. Between Suns and Shadows takes readers deep into the heart of Aztec cosmology, weaving together the two most profound myths of the Mexica tradition: the legend of the Fifth Sun and the soul’s harrowing descent through the nine levels of Mictlan, the Aztec underworld.
Part mythological retelling, part cultural exploration, this book unveils the ancient stories that shaped the Aztec worldview. It begins with the tale of a universe born and destroyed four times over, each age ending in a cataclysm—jaguars, wind, fire, and flood. Now, in the fifth and current sun, created through the humility and sacrifice of the god Nanahuatzin, humanity walks a fragile world—one kept alive by the continual offering of blood and spirit.
