❝The night has a thousand eyes, and the moon knows all your secrets.❞
In which a young woman bravely defies the odds by regaling the sultan of her kingdom with stories spun of gold and gossamer and perfumed with roses, yet finds herself falling into the beast's claws because of it.

❝The wrath is not in yourself, Scheherazade,❞ he crooned, a sanguine tinge to the blade of his dagger, ❝but in the ashes of the dawn. Remember that when i burn your cadaver for the world to see.❞
SCHEHERAZADE is a traveling merchant's daughter, nothing more, nothing less. When they are detained at Al-Zahureem's port for buying and selling stolen goods after leaving on a trading mission to Al-Nakhla, her father is told that the only way to keep his dignity–and his life–is to give her up to the palace guards for the sultan's new wedding.
