Mild case of "storage warp" - slight overall curve to book (which will press out in time on a tight shelf or bottom of stack.) Tight and square with flat spine - this looks unread. No stamps, marks or writing.

21 year old Chimal wants to escape from his life in an Aztec society, cut off from the outside world. It is a restrictive and primitive life, controlled by the priests, and patrolled by traditional Aztec gods like Coatlicue the Dreadful- one sight of her instantly kills the beholder. Chimal escapes, only to find a place technologically advanced with people who observe the valley, yet have blind-spots and backwardness of their own...and eventually he finds out the true nature of his world.
