One of the 100 best fantasy books of all time according to TIME magazine. A New York Times bestseller and an enormous, epic story inspired by the Thousand and One Nights.
Every dawn brings terror to a different family in a country ruled by a murderer. Khalid, the 18-year-old Caliph of Khorasan, takes a new bride every night only to execute her at sunrise. Thus, it's a terrifying surprise when 16-year-old Shahrzad volunteers to marry Khalid. But she does so with a clever plan to survive and avenge the Caliph for the death of her best friend and countless other girls.
Shazi will have to use her intelligence and willpower to reach a dawn that others have not seen, but with one condition... she might fall in love with a murderer. She discovers that the evil king is not all he appears to be, nor are the deaths of so many girls. It's up to her to uncover the reason for the murders and break the cycle once and for all.
"Would you like me to throw Shazi to the wolves?" "Shazi? Honestly, I pity the wolves."
