Description
In a kingdom gripped by terror, the ruthless eighteen-year-old Caliph Khalid executes a new bride each dawn, leaving devastation in his wake. When sixteen-year-old Shahrzad volunteers to become his next wife, she arrives with a dangerous plan: to survive the night and exact revenge for her best friend and the countless girls who have perished. As Shahrzad uses her wit and cunning to stay alive through each perilous dawn, she begins to uncover dark secrets about the murders and the mysterious boy-king himself—only to find her heart dangerously entangled with the very person she sought to destroy. Inspired by the timeless tales of A Thousand and One Nights, this sumptuous and epically told love story weaves together romance, mystery, and revenge in a richly imagined world where nothing is quite as it seems.
