About this audiobook
In the heat of Mexico, a disillusioned European widow is drawn into a revival of the ancient Aztec religion. Kate Leslie finds herself repulsed yet mesmerized by the primal violence and sexual magnetism of the movement's leaders. The clash between Western rationalism and indigenous mysticism creates a fever dream of politics and passion. It is a controversial, intense journey into the dark heart of religious ecstasy.
