Set against the backdrop of a vibrant, yet perilous kingdom, a tale of love, vengeance, and betrayal unfolds. Each day brings the promise of death as the boy-king, known for his cruel reign, claims a new bride at sunrise, only to have her executed by dusk. Yet one young woman, determined to disrupt this cycle of loss, volunteers to become his next wife, harboring a secret plan to end the tyranny.

As she enters the royal palace, she is both terrified and resolute, her heart steeled against the king's allure. In the shadows of the grand corridors, a dangerous game plays out—a quest for survival laced with an unexpected connection between the king and his bride that complicates her feelings and motives. Every sunrise must be met with cunning and hope as she seeks to uncover the truth behind the king’s actions and the reasons for his monstrous behavior.

Drawing the reader into a richly imagined world, the narrative weaves elements of magic, intrigue, and romance, painting a complex portrait of love that blooms in the most unthinkable circumstances. Through vivid imagery and captivating prose, it explores the dualities of fate and choice, asking whether one girl's courage can spark the light of redemption in a realm consumed by darkness.

    Maybe 3.5?I loved The writing. BUT man i am so mad about the love triangle and the fact that she ended up with the problematic dude that killed women. Like i dont care if he's cursed or not it's still killing. AND we didn't see jalal's and shahrzad's relationship developement. Jalal was ready to get rid of her for his family but he's suddenly supporting her and is on her side??? Trusting her so easily for someone who knows where shahrzad came from and what was her purpose. I also want to say that for someone looking for revenge shahrzad truly had a hard time staying in character. She kind of annoyed me??? I'm kinda giving this a high rating bc i was able to get through it pretty fast and i enjoyed talking about it but i'm still disappointed that i didn't like any of the characters and hated the relationship
