The conclusion to the critically acclaimed Obsidian and Blood trilogy:
 
The year is Three Rabbit, and the storm is coming.
 
The Mexica Empire now has a new Emperor, but his coronation war has just ended in a failure: the armies have retreated with a paltry forty prisoners of war, not near enough sacrifices to satisfy the gods. Acatl, High Priest for the Dead, has no desire to involve himself yet again in the intrigues of the powerful. However, when one of the prisoners dies of a magical illness, he has little choice but to investigate. For it is only one death, but it will not be the last.
 
As the bodies pile up and the imperial court tears itself apart, dragging Teomitl, Acatl’s beloved student, into the eye of the storm, the High Priest for the Dead is going to have to choose whom he can afford to trust; and where, in the end, his loyalties ultimately lie...
