Introduction

The time is the tenth century. The place is glorious Crdoba, capital of Moorish Al Andaluz where plots involve a coalition to arrest the despotism of El Mansur who is systematically despoiling their tolerant and cultured society to gain power and wealth.

The Coalition

The coalition - self-named the Seers - includes a Caliph's wife, a Muslim merchant, the palace Chief Cook, a Jewish physician-diplomat, the Mother Superior of a Christian convent, a Moorish General, a Court poet and young woman slave.

The Machinations

Seers machinations include assassinations, sabotage, spying and - naturally - love. It could have happened, since some characters were historical.
