Together, they face numerous challenges, from natural disasters to violent confrontations with rival factions. The group’s quest for the lost city leads them deep into the heart of the jungle, where they must rely on their wits, skills, and courage to survive.As the story unfolds, themes of loyalty, bravery, and the clash of cultures are explored. The narrative highlights the rich history and mythology of the Aztecs, as well as the impact of colonialism and the interactions between different cultural groups. Aimard's depiction of the indigenous characters is both idealized and reflective of the period's attitudes, offering a mix of admiration and stereotypical portrayals.
