Incas: The Light of Machu Picchu by A. B. Daniel
They came from Spain, crossing vast oceans to conquer a fabulous Empire teeming with gold: 170 Conquistadors, led by Captain Pizarro, against 80,000 unprepared Incas, who failed to resist.
Peru, 1536. After three years of ignominious foreign occupation, the Incas finally launch their counter-offensive. Lulling the Spaniards into a false sense of security, they secretly mobilise, preparing themselves for the mother of all battles.
On one side is Anamaya, an Incan princess with supernatural powers, determined to liberate her people. On the other, her lover, the young Spanish nobleman, Gabriel Montelucar y Flores. Can Anamaya persuade Gabriel to switch sides for her? And will their love be strong enough to change the very destiny of the Inca race?
The Light Of Machu Picchu concludes the magnificent tale of the struggle between the Old World and the New, begun in The Puma's Shadow and The Gold Of Cuzco.
