The story takes place in Gibraltar during the siege of the Moorish fort by the Spanish army. But the siege is

delayed: the general of the Spanish army is having a secret love affair with the Moorish queen, who with the

help of their respective servants meet every night in the woods by the citadel. The Spanish king is distracted

from his military and conjugal duties by his pursuit of scientific studies. Moonlit nights contrast with raucous

festivals and religious celebrations as tensions rise between East and West. Finally an Amazonian army is

formed and trained for battle, and love, ambition and duty meet head to head.
