Plot:

The story opens with Portuguese soldier Fernando de Gama drowning in



the ocean after a shipwreck. He comes to, finds some wreckage to float



on and washes up on the coast of Siam. After almost being eaten by a



crocodile, he is captured by Arab slave traders and taken to



Ayutthaya. Released from his bonds to be put on the auction block, he



promptly knocks down his captors and leads them on a chase throughout



the ancient city.



Eventually, he iss brought under control, but not before he is



captured the attention of a Eurasian beauty, Maria, who buys him his



freedom back. After recovering from his recapture, Maria brings



Fernando to meet her father, Phillippe. Fernando immediately



recognizes Phillippe as the man who killed Fernando's father many



years ago, whom Fernando has been seeking on a lifetime quest for



revenge.



But there are bigger battles to be fought. Fernando and his Portuguese



compatriots are pressed into the service of King Chairacha, who has to



go into battle. It is a multi-national taskforce, not only including



Portuguese mercenaries, but also samurai warriors (likely Christians



expelled from Japan). In battle, Fernando bonds with a Thai warrior



named Tong. They distinguish themselves by saving the King from an



assassination attempt and are appointed his personal bodyguards.



Queen Sudachan, a former royal consort who schemed her way into



becoming queen, is behind the assassination plot. Because it failed,



she calls on Don Phillippe for help. Phillippe in turn enlists a scar



-faced ninja to kill the king. This plan is also thwarted by Fernando,



Tong and other Siamese troops. After the assassins are killed in the



king's bedroom, King Chairacha assigns Tong and Fernando the task of



seeking out whoever is behind this scheme.



Recognizing one of the dead assassins as the scar-faced ninja he had



seen Phillippe talking with earlier that night, Fernando confronts



Phillippe. They fight, and Phillippe is killed by Tong. Meanwhile, the



queen resorts to black magic to poison the king. She also must kill



her own son, Prince Yodfam (who is next in line for the throne), to



clear the way for her boyfriend. This she achieves by hiring a spear-



wielding African warrior.



Succeeding in her plot, Fernando and Tong are then framed for the



deaths and made to fight each other in a death duel for Queen



Sudachan, her new king, and the crowd's amusement. Tong's family and



Maria's life are threatened, and Tong throws an axe at the new king,



slaying him. Moments before the queen kills Tong and Fernando in



revenge, King Chairacha's brother arrives. Having deduced on his own



that the queen is behind the king and prince's deaths, he arrests the



queen and releases our heroes and their loved ones. In an ending text,



it is stated that news of these events were heard by the king of



Burma, and that the story's impression of disarray is what caused the



Burmese invasion and the eventual decline and destruction of



Ayutthaya.
