Raul has a destiny: claim his birthright as the last surviving heir of King&nbsp;Balbainus&nbsp;and lead his conquered people to freedom.&nbsp; The signs are all there--his birthmark, in the shape of&nbsp;Balbainus' halfmoon and dagger sigil, the gemstone-hilted sword he found in his parents' inn, and the sudden influx of illegal books featuring the late king's lineage.&nbsp;Nevermind&nbsp;that his ma is a hidden scribe writing a play about&nbsp;Balbainus' return, or that his da, a hardened warrior, has been training him to fight since he could stand. Or the fact that his sword doesn't seem very old at all, he feels much more comfortable reading than fighting, and his birthmark is looking more and more like a burn scar... As Raul leaves his simple village life to start a rebellion against the tyrannical&nbsp;Dunholmi government, he begins to wonder if his destiny is more someone else's plan for a future he doesn't want to be a part of. He'll go along with things, for now, if only to prove that change can come from kindness instead of outright destruction.&nbsp; After all, destiny is what you make of it.&nbsp;

In 1532, the Andean Mountains were stained with the blood of civil war. The warrior Atahualpa had just defeated his politician brother to take control of the storied Incan empire, and led a triumphant march back to the capitol of Cuzco, at the head of tens of thousands of battle-hardened soldiers.Meanwhile, a poor middle-aged soldier from the forgotten western plains of Spain landed on the Pacific Coast of South America. Francisco Pizarro had recruited a hundred ragtag, armored conquistadors to seek their fortune in the New World. He'd bet his life and dreams on the rumors of a wealthy empire nested in the Andes.In a grave coincidence, Pizarro and Atahualpa's forces stumbled upon each other outside of the small town of Cajamarca. As Pizarro and his men hid behind their cannons in the shadows, Atahualpa and his best warriors entered the town square to make contact with these foreigners. What follows is the true story ambush, murder, ambition, politics, and glory that brought an empire to its knees.
