Read Servant of the Underworld Storyline:

"An Aztec priest of the dead tries to solve a murder mystery, and finds
that politics may be even more powerful than magic. A vivid portrayal of
an interesting culture in a truly fresh fantasy novel." - Kevin J.
Anderson, New York Times bestselling co-author of The Winds of Dune"Amid
the mud and maize of the Mexica empire, Aliette de Bodard has composed a
riveting story of murder, magic and sibling rivalry." - Elizabeth Bear"Highly recommended... Ms. de Bodard is a writer to watch." - Fantasy Book Critic"Part
murder mystery, part well-researched historical novel and part
fantasy... The fantasy element blends neatly with the other parts.
4****" - SFX Magazine"Servant of the Underworld takes its
historical setting and the mythology of the Aztecs seriously... the
title page suggests this is the first volume of "Obsidian and Blood." If
Aliette de Bodard can continue as well as she has started, Acatl
deserves to become as well known as that other priestly investigator,
Cadfael." - Duncan Lawie, Strange Horizons"It’s fascinating stuff, about fascinating stuff." - John Scalzi, Whatever"Aliette De Bodard is the hottest rising star in world SF and Fantasy, blending ancient crimes with wild imagination." - Aleksandra's Corner
