Summary:
The story of Izta, the Aztec princess who must fight for her father's kingdom doomed to fall into the hands of the evil and bloodthirsty high priest Axooxco. Her small army of loyal followers includes her life maiden, Xochitl; her wise but insecure advisor, Tochtli; and the brave Jaguar Knight Popoca who makes her heart leap. Is the love for her kingdom and her parents enough to overcome the magical-religious control over her people? A Story inspired by the Mexican legend of Popocatepetl (Smoking Mountain) and Iztaccihuatl (White Woman or Sleeping Woman), two of the tallest volcanoes in Mexico.
