About the Book

Immerse yourself in the mind of the man who changed the course of history. I, Hernán transports you to the heart of the 16th century, where the ambitions of an empire and the fate of the New World collide in the figure of Hernán Cortés. The voice of the conquistador is reborn: "It is not the number that fights, but the spirit. It is not the many who win, but the brave". Battle of Otumba, July 7, 1520 with the masterful pen of Juan José de Lama, this work challenges the myths and reveals the man behind the legend. Based on reliable historical sources, it weaves a narrative as rigorous as it is gripping. What drives a man to confront the unknown? How is an empire forged between the sword and the word?

More than just a historical account, this novel is a window into the events and soul of an era. De Lama's vivid and immersive prose dispels the mists of the Black Legend, offering a clear and multifaceted vision of one of the most controversial and fascinating characters in world history. A literary experience on the border of historical reality and narrative immersion, do you dare to cross the ocean and conquer an empire?
