Beschreibung

Montezuma's Daughter, first published in 1892, is a novel by the Victorian adventure writer H. Rider Haggard. Narrated in the first person by Thomas Wingfield, an Englishman whose adventures include having his mother murdered by his Spanish cousin Juan de Garcia, a brush with the Spanish Inquisition, shipwreck, and slavery. Eventually, Thomas unwillingly joins a Spanish expedition to New Spain, and the novel tells a fictionalized story of the first interactions between the natives and European explorers. This includes a number of misunderstandings, prejudice on the part of the Spaniards, and ultimately open war.

Sir Henry Rider Haggard (22 June 1856 – 14 May 1925) was an English writer of adventure fiction romances set in exotic locations, predominantly Africa, and a pioneer of the lost world literary genre. He was also involved in land reform throughout the British Empire. His stories, situated at the lighter end of Victorian literature, continue to be popular and influential.

    They say lightning doesn’t strike the same place twice. They are damn liars because I’m losing count of the impossibilities in my life. 
    It turns out my presence in The Buried Knolls could mean the death of everyone around me. If the cold reactions of Wild and the quad are anything to go by, then the coven can never discover what I am. 
    Even though I’ve uncovered the demon king’s sinister plans and the truth about the supernatural game this coven plays, I must leave the knolls. Bizarrely, the place I came to for answers has become home. Hope. Community. I nearly fell in love here. Now the mating ritual with Wild feels like another excellent reason to leave. 
    Yet when so many impossible things have already happened, I have to wonder about the size of the storm ahead... and whether lightning will strike for a third time.

    "Hang 'em high! An' leave 'im to dry!" 
    Lincoln Dollar heard the jeers of the men in front of him. He felt the noose tightening around his neck. He felt his breath come in painfully short gasps.

    "Yeah! You ain't going to survive this painful necktie party!" 
    Lincoln could not move his head to stare down at his tormentors. His boots dangled a few feet from the ground. The noose around his neck seemed to tighten with every second that passed, only increasing his already intense agony.
