About the Author:

Suzanne All�s Blom studied ancient history at a college in Sioux City, IA. She went to Milwaukee as a VISTA volunteer, working for the local tenants' union. In due course, she became a tax preparer, helping people "keep the tax man away from the door," and has been in Milwaukee ever since.

From Booklist:

Intrigued by what might have been, novelist Blom has penned a fictional alternate history of the conquest of the Inca Empire. When Atahualpa, son of the powerful Incan emperor, realizes the Spanish conquistadors intend to ravish and destroy his civilization, he attempts to launch a resistance designed to preserve his threatened nation. Unfortunately, factions within his own tribe are determined to discredit the haughty young prince. As Atahualpa works feverishly to save his people from the foreigners, he must also protect himself from jealous and shortsighted enemies. A vividly re-created historical adventure chock-full of colorful characters, unexpected plot twists, and authentic period detail. Margaret Flanagan
