Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The land of Extremadura, Francisco Orellana’s homeland in the kingdom of Castile, produced hard and unyielding men who learned the arts of warfare as boys. They were a temperament forged by eight hundred years of conflict with the invading Moors.

#2 Orellana was a conquistador who participated in the expedition of 1541–42. He was also known to be cruel and impulsive. He was tall and well-proportioned, with a olive-dark complexion and a long black beard.

#3 Francisco Pizarro was the first to discover the riches of the New World, and he did so in 1524. He formed a private corporation called the Company of the Levant to raise money dedicated to further conquest in the New World.

#4 Francisco Pizarro and his crew landed in Peru in 1528, and began exploring the area. They found a huge Inca city, and presented the king with fine pottery and embroidered linen clothing. The king signed a royal license granting Pizarro the right of discovery and conquest in the province of Peru.
