A letter from Renée Ahdieh:
There are
not enough words to express how thrilled I am to share THE WRATH AND THE DAWN
with you! From the moment I typed the first word, I felt connected to Shahrzad
and her world in a way that carried me through the long process of publication
to where we are today.
Everything
about this process has been a dream come true, and hope you love my book half
as much as I enjoyed writing it. In celebration of release day, I'll be giving
away a signed, first edition hardcover of the book, as well as a gorgeous scarf
. . . or two!
Always
remember to make it a story worthy of you!
Renée

But she does so with a clever plan to stay alive and exact revenge on the Caliph for the murder of her best friend and countless other girls. Shazi's wit and will, indeed, get her through to the dawn that no others have seen, but with a catch . . . she’s falling in love with the very boy who killed her dearest friend.
