520    "In twelfth century, Persia, clever and dreamy Shaherazade
       stumbles on the Malik's beloved wife entwined with a lover
       in a sun-dappled courtyard. When Shaherazade recounts her 
       first tale, the story of this infidelity, to the Malik, 
       she sets the Seljuk Empire on fire. Enraged at his wife's 
       betrayal, the once-gentle Malik beheads her. But when that
       killing does not quench his anger, the Malik begins to 
       marry and behead a new bride each night. Furious at the 
       murders, his province seethes on rebellion's edge. To 
       suppress her guilt, quell threats of a revolt, and perhaps
       marry the man she has loved since childhood, Shaherazade 
       persuades her beloved father, the Malik's vizier, to offer
       her as the next wife. On their wedding night, Shaherazade 
       begins a yarn, but as the sun ascends she cuts the story 
       short, ensuring that she will live to tell another tale, a
       practice she repeats night after night. But the Malik's 
       rage runs too deep for Shaherazade to exorcise alone. And 
       so she and her father persuade the Malik to leave Persia 
       to join Saladin's fight against the Crusaders in 
       Palestine. With plots spun against the Seljuks from all 
       corners, Shaherazade must maneuver through intrigue in the
       age's greatest courts to safeguard her people. All the 
       while, she must keep the Malik enticed with her 
       otherworldly tales-because the slightest misstep could 
       cost Shaherazade her head. This suspenseful first-person 
       retelling is vividly rendered through the voice of a fully
       imagined Shaherazade, a book lover whose late mother 
       bestowed the gift of story that becomes her power. Created
       over fourteen years of writing and research, Jamila 
       Ahmed's gorgeously written debut is a celebration of 
       storytelling and a love letter to the medieval Islamic 
       world that brings to life one of the most enduring and 
       intriguing woman characters of all time"--|cProvided by
