The Mexica Chronicles by Amilea Perez is a gripping New Adult romantasy inspired by Aztec mythology, where deadly tournaments, divine power struggles, and sibling loyalty collide.
In The Tournament of Heirs, royal twins Acalan and Metztli Amos must fight for their House’s survival in a brutal contest where only two blood-bound heirs can claim victory. Survival demands cunning, sacrifice, and the ability to see through the empire’s illusions because destiny has plans beyond the arena.
In The Reckoning of Heirs, vengeance drives Metztli to challenge not only rival houses but the gods themselves. To honor her brother’s final wish, she must forge unlikely alliances, uncover dangerous truths, and risk igniting a war the divine never believed mortals could win. But the path to rebellion demands the same price as the tournament...sacrifice.
