Muslim Spain in the 14th century: when the three Abrahamic religions coexisted in peace. Muslims fighting against Christian reconquest. A bit of court intrigue, a lot of culture explained and a romance between a Christian knight and Grand Vizier's daughter. Excitement in the battle and duel scenes. Added pluses: a historical summary of that period, and pictures of the Alhambra, the famous fortress/castles. The Emeralds refer to the heroine's green eyes.

Highly recommended.
