Cradle of the Sun John Clagett G341 1959

His family struck down by the inquisition, the woman he loved snatched from his arms, hot-blooded Juan de Moncada set out on a savage mission of revenge. In the New World he was taken captive by the Mayas - with their strange rites of human sacrifice. How he became the lover of a native princess and led her people against the brutal Conquistadors makes a taut tale of swashbuckling adventure and primitive passion.
