The Arabian Nights
by Gay Monteverde
Synopsis
Betrayed by his first wife, King Shahrayar vows to re-marry and put to death a new wife each day.
Shahrazad, the daughter of the King's adviser, volunteers to wed the King with the hope that she can heal his heart and spare her countrywomen.
To forestall her execution, she tells him a story each evening, leaving the ending untold so he will keep her alive another day.
What happens when she runs out of stories?
The fate of a kingdom will be determined by these delightful re-imaginings of ancient folktales about love, loyalty, and courage.
