Cuetzpalómitl, un mexica noble, describe sus vivencias de infancia durante la Conquista de México. Las costumbres, el orden social, la alimentación y los ritos son retratados de manera fiel y ágil. Gracias a su relato, se dibujan los episodios de la Conquista y sus consecuencias. Una novela que relata este periodo histórico desde una posible visión mexica.

México-Tenochtitlan ha caído en manos de los españoles y una nueva ciudad comienza erigirse sobre la antigua urbe mexica.Francisco Cuetzpalómitl, o Huesos de Lagartija, superviviente de la guerra de conquista, encarga un códice muy especial a un pintor de códices. La obra demostrará a los españoles quiénes son los verdaderos dueños de las tierras que la derrotada nobleza mexica pretende apropiarse. Las cosas se complican cuando el códice es robado. Ello obliga a Francisco y a su hijo, Santiago, a emprender una desesperada y peligrosa búsqueda.

Roberto y Xomácatl son dos jóvenes que viven en el mismo territorio pero en dos épocas distintas. El primero habita en la actual Ciudad de México y el segundo, en la antigua México-Tenochtitlan. Enfrentados al acoso de sus compañeros, ambos cruzan un umbral que los lleva a intercambiar personalidades y a emprender una misión para hallar el camino de regreso a sus propios tiempos y hogares. Una travesía extraordinaria para conocer el pasado y el presente de la capital de México.

Featured at the SIEL 2026 International Book Fair in Rabat, during its landmark year as the UNESCO World Book Capital.Every country has its stories — but some stories do not stand alone.They echo across borders, cultures, and centuries.This companion volume is a mirror to the traditional legends of El Salvador, placing them in dialogue with their European counterparts — particularly from Spain — to reveal shared archetypes, recurring fears, and timeless moral structures.Rather than retelling folklore in isolation, this book compares, contrasts, and reflects on legendary figures: devils and tempters, guardians of the night, heralds of death, restless spirits, fatal apparitions, and domestic tricksters. Through these mirrors, familiar Salvadoran legends gain new depth when seen alongside their cultural twins.For generations, such stories were passed from parents to children — warnings disguised as myths, history preserved through fear, wonder, and memory. This volume explores how those same narrative forces appear again and again, across oceans and traditions.This is not a linear story collection, but a comparative folklore companion, designed to be read alongside the main volumes of the series.
