About the Books. In The Wrath and the Dawn, Caliph Khalid takes a new bride each night, only for her to be executed at dawn. When her closest friend becomes his latest victim, Shahrzad volunteers to become his next bride, determined to survive long enough to avenge her friend and uncover the truth behind the killings. What begins as a plan for vengeance becomes a far more complicated reckoning as Shahrzad is drawn to the boy-king she came to destroy.. The story continues in The Rose and the Dagger, as war looms across Khorasan. Torn from Khalid and reunited with her family and childhood love Tariq, Shahrzad must navigate shifting loyalties, a dangerous curse, and impossible choices between duty, love and revenge. Ahdieh widens her world with court politics, magic and emotional stakes that pay off the tension of the first book, delivering a satisfying conclusion to the duology..
