In the sequel to Demon of the Air, Yaotl, the Chief Minister's slave, is on the run from his vengeful master, the powerful Lord Feathered-in Black, as he searches for his missing son, but his quest is complicated by his discovery of a dismembered corpse and of a conspiracy among members of the ancient, secretive society of feather workers, in a mystery set in sixteenth-century Aztec Mexico.

Mexico, 1517. The Aztec capital is awash with fear and rumours. A strange figure has been seen running through the streets. A man with the face of a serpent, his body covered with glittering green feathers: Quetzalcoatl - the Feathered Serpent - the most powerful of the Aztec gods. Yaotl, the Chief Minister's slave, has more important matters to worry about. Engaged in a desperate search for his son, he's on the run from his vengeful master, Lord Feathered-in-Black. If the Chief Minister catches him, Yaotl can expect a grisly fate. Attempting to escape his master's bloodthirsty warriors, Yaotl stumbles upon a dismembered, unrecognisable corpse. As he pieces together the clues as to who the dead man was and how he died, Yaotl finds himself drawn into an affair of greed, jealousy and lust among the ancient, secretive society of the feather workers, the Aztec's foremost craftsmen.
