The Aztec uprising in 1810 left young Juan Martez orphaned in a savage land. Like many native Aztecs, Juan was sentenced to hang by the Spanish. But his life is spared when a Spanish gunmaker learns of his skills with gunpowder and buys him to make munitions. Keeping his Aztec heritage low key, Juan becomes the finest gunmaker in the colony--and the best shot. But both talents are kept secret--if the Spanish knew of his skills, he would surely be killed. Juan secretly works the Mexican underground, running guns and black powder to guerrilla forces fighting for independence. Along the way he falls in love with Maria Volza, a fiery revolutionary stirring up the masses, but she rejects him as fallen under the Spanish boot. But Juan's destiny is to lead the Mexicans against Spanish rule, and when Maria discovers the life Juan has hidden so well, a battle is ignited and the revolution begins.… (mehr)

Messico, XIX secolo. In un mondo lacerato dalle lotte tra europei e indios, anche il meticcio Juan Rios lotta per l'indipendenza della sua terra. Discendente di una stirpe di guerrieri aztechi, si salva dalla schiavitù nelle miniere d'argento di Guadalajara grazie al suo talento per le armi da fuoco. Nonostante sia solo un peón, Juan ha appreso dallo zio spagnolo, un bizzarro frate dedito più al vino che alla preghiera, tutti i segreti per la preparazione della "polvere nera", ed è ben presto diventato un alleato prezioso per i ribelli guidati da Vicente Guerrero, che di nascosto rifornisce di armi. Sulle rive del lago di Chapala, nessuno sospetta della sua doppia vita, nemmeno Maria, la revolucionaria senza paura che gli ha infiammato il cuore. Ma proprio durante una consegna ai rivoltosi, Juan viene scoperto dagli uomini del Viceré spagnolo, e per salvarsi è costretto alla fuga. E solo l'inizio di un incredibile viaggio, che lo condurrà sulla rotta di feroci pirati asiatici. cannibali e trafficanti di spezie, fino alle terre lontane di Hong Kong e Manila. Per riportarlo nel suo paese alla vigilia di cambiamenti che ne segneranno irrimediabilmente la storia.
