The king has killed every bride he’s taken, so when he comes to their village, the sister of the prettiest girl convinces him to marry her to protect her sibling. But she has a plan to survive and also gain the power to save the tormented king from himself. Beautiful lyricism and dynamic characters offset a slow pace in this Arabian Nights retelling.
