The story

In 13th-century Tangiers, master thief Yussef, hired by Mokar, an agent of the city's regent Prince Mustapha, is sent to kill baby prince Hussein so that Mustapha can claim the throne in Hussein's stead. However, Yussef cannot allow himself to commit the murder, so he raises the child as his own and names him Julna. The only proof of Julna's true identity is a tattoo of the royal seal on his arm, which Yussef keeps hidden under a silver armband.
