In a land ruled by a murderous eighteen-year-old Caliph, each dawn brings horror to a new family. Sixteen-year-old Shahrzad volunteers to be his bride, harboring a secret plan for revenge against the Caliph for the death of her best friend. Her wit and determination see her survive past the dawn, but she discovers the Caliph is not what he seems, and the girls' deaths have a deeper cause. Shazi is driven to uncover the truth and break the cycle of violence, even as she finds herself falling for the man she intended to destroy.
