Meer over het boek

He went to make a name for himself in the New World. But will he be remembered as a hero… or a curse? Peru, 1532. Gonzalo Pizarro craves the recognition received by his brother Francisco. When the young Spaniard helps capture the Incan Emperor against overwhelming odds, he’s convinced that God himself smiles on their expedition. After receiving vast quantities of gold and silver in ransom from the native empire, Gonzalo sets his sights on a prize the puppet emperor won’t part with so the Incan Queen. But when a renegade conquistador captures him and his brother, Gonzalo’s obsession with power may end up destroying them all. Can the prestige-hungry conquistador navigate the political strife growing between his countrymen without losing his grip on the conquered domain? Demons in the Golden Empire is the gripping fourth book in the Hispanic American Heritage Stories series, based on historical events. If you like epic historical drama, tragic characters, and indigenous plights, then you’ll love Marcos Antonio Hernandez’s evocative account of the Spanish conquest of Peru.
