About Cuāhl and the Burning Throne

In the rainforest metropolis of Nueva Volusia, Queen Cuāhl is trying to build a new future from the ruins of a fallen empire. Ancient injustice is being challenged. Power is shifting. And for the first time in generations, ordinary people dare to hope. But hope makes enemies. When a brutal murder shakes the city, whispers of conspiracy spread through the palace halls. Foreign powers gather beyond the borders while hidden traitors move through Cuāhl's inner circle, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. As riots ignite, granaries burn, and old forces rise from the shadows, the Queen must decide who she can trust before her revolution collapses into ash. Armed with her obsidian-edged macuahuitl and aided by the fierce warrior Brule, Cuāhl faces assassins, political betrayal, living machines, and ancient powers buried beneath the bones of the old world. Cuāhl and the Burning Throne is a sword and sorcery epic blending mythic fantasy, revolutionary intrigue, Afro-futurist and Chicano-futurist storytelling, and post-apocalyptic adventure into a bold reimagining of the genre.
