The Plumed Serpent

Set in the twelfth-century Mayan Empire, the story follows Rorek, a Norseman mistaken for a deity by the local pygmy warriors. His striking appearance and wisdom earn him the nickname Quetzalcoatl from Princess Taycapin, who harbors ambitions that lead to political intrigue. As Rorek navigates the complexities of Mayan court life, he resists Taycapin's schemes and finds himself drawn to Za Ramna's daughter, Za Chel, the "Sun Virgin." This tale explores themes of forbidden love and cultural clash amidst the vibrant backdrop of ancient Mayan civilization.
