The story takes place in a very thinly disguised version of medieval Spain. The Asharite kingdoms, which have ruled for centuries, are crumbling, and the Jaddite kingdoms to the North are mobilizing to reconquer the penninsula. The three main characters represent the faiths/cultures that are caught up in this conflict: Ammar ibn Khairan is an Asharite warrior and poet; Rodrigo Belmonte is a Jaddite mercenary; Jehane is a Kindath doctor.( I think there are spoilers here. But nothing major. )
