In a fantastic adventure undreamed of when he had set sail from Spain, a young student finds himself trapped in the role of the legendary Mayan god Kukulcan, a captive of his own power and of his duties as lord of a great city.
For Julian Escobar, a former Jesuit student, it is a perilous challenge. His only ally, the sly dwarf Cantu, who had tricked him into this impersonation in the first place, cares only for the gold that can be plundered from the Mayan temples. Even amid the barbaric splendor of his own court, where he is hailed as "Lord of the Twilight," Julian fears the treachery of the high priest Chalco. And not far from Julian's City of the Seven Serpents, an old enemy, Don Luis de Arroyo, has established himself as lord of a rival city.
Julian's travels take him to the palace of the emperor Montezuma, and before long he is caught up in the tragic encounter of Moctezuma and Hernan Cortes and the capture of the magnificent Aztec city, Tenochtitlan.
In The Feathered Serpent, Scott O'Dell captures all the magnificence and terror of the Mayan world and gives his readers once again a powerful and exciting story.
