Still, Shahrzad has come to understand all is not as it seems in this palace of marble and stone. How is this possible? It’s an unforgivable betrayal.
Incredibly, Shahrzad finds herself falling in love. This monster is a boy with a tormented heart. But something she never expected begins to happen: Khalid is nothing like what she’d imagined him to be. Night after night, Shahrzad beguiles Khalid, weaving stories that enchant, ensuring her survival, though she knows each dawn could be her last. Shahrzad is determined not only to stay alive, but to end the caliph’s reign of terror once and for all.
When sixteen-year-old Shahrzad’s dearest friend falls victim to Khalid, Shahrzad vows vengeance and volunteers to be his next bride. Each night he takes a new bride only to have a silk cord wrapped around her throat come morning. Khalid, the eighteen-year-old Caliph of Khorasan, is a monster. Goodreads summary: In a land ruled by a murderous boy-king, each dawn brings heartache to a new family.
