One Dawn, One Life.
Every daybreak in a nation where a ruthless boy-king rules, a new family suffers heartbreak. The Caliph of Khorasan, Khalid, is eighteen years old, and a monstrosity. Every morning when he takes a new wife, she wakes up with a silk rope around her neck. After Shahrzad's closest friend, who is sixteen years old, is killed by Khalid, Shahrzad swears revenge and offers to be his next wife. Shahrzad is committed to not only surviving but also putting a stop to the caliph's terror state permanently.
Shahrzad seduces Khalid night after night by telling captivating tales that guarantee her life even though she is aware that every morning may be her last. However, something unexpected starts to happen: Khalid is not at all who she had thought he would be. This child is a monster because his heart is broken. Amazingly, Shahrzad discovers that she is falling for someone. How could this be? This treachery is unforgiveable. Nevertheless, Shahrzad has realized that nothing in this castle of stone and marble is as it appears. Despite her love for Khalid, she is determined to find out what secrets he is hiding and to get revenge on him for the many lives he has taken. Can their love last in this secretive and mythical world?
