description -
War In The Blood is a sequel to The Heart of Jade, a generation later to a time when the Spanish conquest seems firmly established but while the Aztec traditions and passions are still strong amongst the natives.  This classic conflict between a proud Indian people and its conquerors is personified in young Rodrigo, whose father was a companion of Cortes (still living in Mexico) and whose mother was a princess of a family of Moteczuma.
