“Relic of the Aztecs” Now Available for Preorder on Amazon
Author Michael Finney is releasing his first alternative history short story called “The Relic of the Aztecs”. The fictional work takes place in an alternative reality of North America.
In a world where two civilizations collide, the Aztec Empire is in turmoil as they face invasion from an advanced people. Their Emperor, Tzontettica Yaotl, has heard rumors about an artifact that may be their only chance to turn the tide of the impending battle, but its location is uncertain and it might be lost among the abandoned ruins of Coliniacahuitlco.
Facing insurmountable odds and potential annihilation, one man is chosen by the Emperor to embark on a dangerous mission. Can the chosen explorer return with the relic in time and preserve the empire?
Finney said, “I did not intentionally set out to write this story but in the course of research for a collection of works I intend to release in the future, a new story reached out to me. I felt it was critical to venture into this territory to lay down a foundation of thought about how to construct a tale that allowed me to stretch out with fictional storytelling.”
Readers are transported into a vibrant world of alternative fictional history. This captivating tale weaves together elements of tradition and imagination, exploring themes of identity, community, and the power of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
