Just some parts I wondered about the book.. This writing is my own. I do not own any of Renee' Ahdieh's story and characters.

The story of a broken boy-king and an absent queen. The story of Khalid during the time Shazi flees the dying kingdom. Filled with passion, pain and the danger of love.

The fortieth bride... how many more will he have to go through? For how long will he have to go through this each day? If he dies, will the curse be lifted? Whose daughter will it be this time? Whose sister? Whose lover? Does it matter anyway? He's sending her to her death anyway. The less he knows, the easier it will be at dawn.

I suck at summaries, so be content with this: Shazi starts to think about her love for Khalid.

[Complete] Khalid realizes that this sleeplessness thing has officially gotten out of hand the day that he walks into his chambers and sees Ava standing in the center of the room. Or the one where Khalid hallucinates his dead first wife. She's not happy.
