Tochtli: Book Two - The Broken Glyph

Tochtli is no longer a boy-he's a painani, a royal runner trusted with the fate of his people.
At thirteen, he's given his most important mission yet: deliver a sacred glyph message that could prevent war between powerful city-states. But when the glyph is stolen in the night, Tochtli's honor is shattered. Accused of failure-and worse, betrayal-he must race against time to recover what was lost, clear his name, and stop the bloodshed that now threatens the Aztec lands.

As Tochtli runs through jungles, storms, and ancient trails, he faces not only a rival's treachery but the shadow of a silent predator. And beyond the horizon, rumors spread of pale strangers and ships that may soon change everything.

Fast-paced, rich with history and heart, Tochtli: The Broken Glyph is a thrilling tale of courage and loyalty for readers ages 9-12.
