Description

In a sun‑blazed Granada of the mid‑nineteenth century, the aging Moorish ruler Aben Habuz clings to a fragile peace, his once‑war‑torn realm now beset by restless rivals and whispering conspiracies. The king’s court is a crossroads of fading glory and looming danger, where every hilltop watchtower and secret passage could become the stage for betrayal.

Into this tension steps Ibrahim Ebn Abu Ajeeb, an enigmatic Arab astronomer whose reputation for mystic knowledge stretches back centuries. Arriving with nothing but a hieroglyph‑etched staff, he chooses a cavern high above the city as his sanctuary, filling it with celestial charts and cryptic symbols. The king, desperate for counsel, places his trust in the old scholar, hoping the ancient wisdom of the stars might illuminate a path through the encroaching threats.

The tale weaves together political intrigue, cultural clashes, and the allure of forgotten sciences, inviting listeners to explore a world where the line between prophecy and peril is as thin as the desert night.
