Three expeditions. Three landscapes. One soldier who can't stop following men into hell.
The Conquistadors Trilogy follows Sardina - a young Spanish soldier who crosses Pizarro's line in the sand and spends the next fifteen years trying to understand what he's become. The jungles of Peru. The deserts of Arizona. The rivers of La Florida. He watches empires rise and fall, watches men he knows turn into monsters, and watches himself become something he doesn't recognize.
Book 1: Brothers & Kings - Peru, 1532. Sardina joins Pizarro's conquest of the Inca Empire. He meets a reluctant king named Manco. He begins to see the truth.
Book 2: Devils of the Desert - Arizona, 1540. Sardina follows Coronado into the desert, chasing the Seven Cities of Gold. A mysterious shaman called The Turk promises to lead them there. The price is everything.
Book 3: Rivers and Blood - The Mississippi, 1541. Sardina finds his old comrade Hernando de Soto burning his way through La Florida. The final reckoning.
Told from both Spanish and Native perspectives, this trilogy strips the romance off the conquest and shows what's underneath - greed, violence, faith, survival, and the slow, grinding cost of empire on the people who built it and the people who were destroyed by it.
This is Sardina's story. It doesn't flinch.
