Set against the historical backdrop of 1491, the narrative unfolds during the Siege of Granada, the last stronghold of the Moorish state in Spain. As Spanish forces led by King Ferdinand II and Queen Isabella I besiege the city, the story explores themes of conflict, cultural clash, and the end of an era, culminating in the surrender that marks the conclusion of 780 years of Muslim presence in the Iberian Peninsula. This pivotal moment in history also signifies the final act of the Reconquista, shaping the future of Spain.
