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