Canary Islands, 1525. The young chronicler Diego de Soto, disillusioned with the power struggles of the fledgling Spanish Empire, decides to embark on an expedition and leave his life at court behind.

Overnight, De Soto realizes a dream: to meet the legendary conqueror of the Aztec Empire. However, this admiration soon turns to suspicion, as a series of murders seek to silence what happened eight years earlier, when the Spanish were forced to abandon Tenochtitlán and lost Moctezuma's famous treasure forever.
What happened to that treasure? Diego de Soto is determined to uncover the truth, unaware that what he finds will lead him to the place he has wanted to flee from the beginning: the heart of the Spanish Empire

Myths originating in India hold a prominent position among the most important legendary narratives in the Indo-European context, not only because of their diversity but also because of their unique exoticism and beauty. Although Hinduism is a pantheistic religion that conceives of a single Divine Being encompassing all existence, the aspects of this Absolute are countless, and each has its own stories.
These mythological legends were compiled in a series of texts known as the Puranas (ancient texts) and have served since time immemorial to explain, through fiction, the most intricate tenets of Hinduism. In Hindu mythology, every action and detail has a symbolic interpretation that illustrates a specific message or teaching.
The main characters - whether gods, demigods, demons, humans, or animals - embodi virtues and vices and provide valuable lessons. For this reason, these narratives have not lost their relevance over the centuries and continue to be an integral part of contemporary thought in India
