The Sultan and The Storyteller

For thirty-nine nights, the sultan of Zunbar has chosen a new wife.For thirty-nine dawns, they are pronounced dead.When Sultan Zayne summons my best friend to be taken as his newest victim, I can no longer pretend to be blind and volunteer in her stead.My only plan--weave a story each night and hopefully learn why he would kill in the first place.I don't belong here.But as I unravel the tapestry of lies, I learn there's more going on inside its gilded walls than anyone in the land could have ever realized.A shadow looms in every corner and tries to possess Zayne each night.I've woven myself into the story, and if I don't pull on the right thread, it's not only my life at stake but my heart.
