Rider Haggard is a historical novel written during the late 19th century. Set against the backdrop of the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire, the story follows Thomas Wingfield, an Englishman of noble descent, as he narrates his remarkable life, including his time spent among the indigenous peoples of Anahuac, now Mexico. The novel explores themes of love, cultural conflict, and vengeance, centering on Thomas’s complicated relationships with both his English wife and his children from a previous marriage to an Aztec princess, who is also Montezuma's daughter. The opening of the book introduces Thomas Wingfield years after the tumultuous events of his life, as he decides to recount his past to fulfill a promise made to Queen Elizabeth. Taking the reader through a reflective journey, he recounts his youth, his encounters with the Spanish invaders, and the tragic fate of his loved ones, deeply entwined with themes of love and loss. The action is set in motion by the revelation of his mother’s violent death at the hands of a Spaniard named Juan de Garcia, igniting Thomas’s quest for vengeance. Throughout the first chapter, the narrative juxtaposes Thomas’s current peaceful life with the dramatic memories of his past, foreshadowing the conflicts that will arise from his dedication to avenging his mother's death.
