Scheherazade, the daughter of the vizier, is married to the tyrannical King Shahryar, who has vowed to marry a new woman each night and have her killed the next morning. Scheherazade devises a plan to save her own life by telling the king a story each night. She leaves the story unfinished at the end of each night, so that the king is curious to hear the rest and spares her life.

They feature a cast of characters from all walks of life, and they offer a glimpse into the culture and history of the Middle East.Book Details
