In the heart of the Aztec empire, a young priestess faces a fate of honor in death as the New Fire sacrifice for her city of Texcoco.
Toma embraces her role and upholds her people's traditions, believing that her sacrifice will secure the prosperity of her city as well as her passage to the highest realm of the heavens. But when her father, the city's chief, is brutally murdered during a burgeoning civil war, Toma's fate and future are shattered.
With her life in danger, she flees into the jungle, determined to escape an unhonorable death. But she soon finds herself captured by gods who call themselves Conquistadors. Forced to choose between betraying her people and her beliefs, she struggles to find a way out of her impossible situation as one of the strangers opens her eyes to a life she wants to live for.
As rebellion brews and the tri-city states of the Aztec empire teeter on the brink of collapse, Toma must navigate a treacherous path to find her true destiny. Amidst the chaos and violence of her world in turmoil, she discovers that love and sacrifice are the ultimate weapons against darkness—and even a foe she had not foreseen.
Winner of multiple awards, including the Montaigne Medal Finalist Award, Readers' Favorite YA Thriller Finalist Award, and the Next Generation Indie Book Finalist Award in Historical Fiction, Blood of Toma is an epic tale of heroism, bravery, and hope. Foreword Clarion Reviews praises the novel for its ability to bring order, beauty, and a sense of honor to the Mexica people, a civilization known for its brutality and human sacrifice.
