Summary

Shaherazade, the master storyteller, weaves her way through treacherous palaces and the chaos of the Crusades. In this unique retelling of One Thousand and One Nights, Shaherazade's wit and political savvy become her weapons as she navigates a land on the brink of destruction. Every night, she spins tales to captivate the enraged Malik and safeguard her own life. Jamila Ahmed's exquisite debut is a literary tribute to the power of storytelling, immersing readers in a vividly imagined medieval Islamic world and the indomitable spirit of its unforgettable heroine.

Reviews

"A sumptuous, delicious novel infused with the joys of storytelling. A bold, heady journey into the riches and passions of Crusader history, presenting a fresh and fascinating Muslim perspective."
- Leila Aboulela, award-winning author of The Translator and River Spirit

“With imaginative creativity and embellishment of its 12th-century Persia setting, this novel is a striking testament to the power of stories“
- Library Journal 

“Richly imagined and sumptuously told . . . Ahmed deftly interweaves history and myth to create a world that is as compelling as it is magical. Every chapter leaves you eager to sit at Shaherazade's feet once more”
- G. Willow Wilson, author of The Bird King
