The Wormhole of Blood and Gold
Volume 1: Before The SailsBy Luis Flores
Length10h 41m
About this audiobook
A modern soldier falls through a tear in reality and lands in the heart of the Aztec world, years before the Spanish conquest.
Alex Villaflores should have died in his own time. Instead, he awakens in Tenochtitlan, where prophecy, politics, and war are already in motion, and where the fate of an empire may rest in the hands of a man who does not belong to it.
To survive, Alex must do more than adapt. He must earn the trust of emperors, navigate rival powers, build alliances across ancient enemies, and prepare an entire civilization for a threat history has already written into blood.
Because the men coming across the sea will bring more than steel.
They will bring disease, betrayal, terror, and the collapse of a world.
But history has made one mistake.
This time, the empire may see them coming.
