Summary
Many moons ago, an angry king (Shahrayar) would marry night after night, killing his wives the next morning. The village women trembled in fear; fearing who would be next. When a brave and noble girl (Shahrazad) is chosen she uses her courage and wits to foil the king's routine and open his heart. For a thousand and one nights she tells tall tales of local lore and fables of kindness and love. Will she be able to save the women of the city? Will she be able to save herself?
