A Secret Star PDF Download

With the Spaniards occupying the Aztec city of Tenochtitlan, there are plenty of things to worry about. But for Eleuia, a quiet Aztec slave, life doesn't seem so different. She is far from the commotion and uneasiness in the heart of the city. It isn't that the Spaniards' arrival has no effect on her. She has seen the Spaniards. She had heard the rumors. When she sees a horse for the first time the magnificent creature fascinates her. She can hardly believe it when such an animal comes to be in her possession. She tries to do everything she can to conceal it, even when she has to break the rules. The horse means so much to Eleuia, because she can always have a special friend. But hiding the animal proves to be harder than she thought. When the family discovers that she has the horse, Eleuia has to promise to let her horse go--a promise she knows she will break. After that secrecy is even more important. But is it possible to keep the secret forever? When the warriors begin the long battle, Eleuia discovers that it might not be so easy to conceal her beautiful horse--and herself.
