A Mesoamerican Fantasy. This is the story of the Fourth Sun, of its cataclysm, and the heroes that tried to prevent it.

Story

Aztlan Chapter 1 was released in 2017 in México and now is sold out.  Chapter 2 is 100% done! Now, we are raising funds to print both chapters in four languages: Spanish, English, French… and Nahuatl (the original language of the Nahuas). 

Our goal is to share  Mesoamerican Culture to the world, from the inside out. That´s why we want to also print it in Nahuatl so we help preserve and learn their original language. 

Also, we want to tell an EPIC STORY about the end of a world. 

The end of a sun
Lady of the Monarchs

 Aztlan is a Mesoamerican Fantasy / Epic adventure that is based on the legend of the five suns.  in essence the legend explains that our world has passed through four eras of creation and destruction, one per sun and that all of us live under the fifth sun.  (We give more detail of the legend at the end of this presentation, in the video section)

Aztlan is the story of the Fourth Sun, of its cataclysm, creatures, gods, and the heroes that tried to prevent it.

We want to see good stories.

and with all our hearts we want to see good mesoamerican stories.


Don´t get us wrong, we love a good medieval fantasy, but the world has already The Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, The Witcher,  Harry Potter, and lots more. 

Mesoamerica has always been a little relegated (And we know is our fault, is our responsibility to tell those stories), so we want to show off the mesoamerican cosmovision to the world, we know you will love it. 

The Rabbit Warrior

Also,our dream is to give our youth (Mexican, nahuas, mixtecs, mayans that only get to see American or Japanese animation and comics) a source of inspiration, to give them heroes of their own.

Those two aspirations: To take Mesoamerica to the world and to share it to our own it is why we are printing the books in four languages. We hope you help us reach our goal.

As we said. We love good stories. So, at heart, Aztlan is not only a mesoamerican fantasy. Is a story about the end of a world, and how the people (and heroes)  try to prevent it.

No matter where we live, we can relate to that. Every day it seems that we are living the end of our world… Let’s hope these stories (the epic ones) inspire us to be the heroes we need.
