In this reimagining of "One Thousand and One Nights," Shahrzad marries the king and becomes the fulcrum for war and rebellion in the kingdom. Questions about the value of life drive both romance and political intrigue; Shahrzad is an intriguing character: a determined survivor who inspires loyalty and love while standing down any opposition that comes her way.
