Summary: On a desert planet, there's a curse: with every new crescent, a girl is sacrificed to the stars...
Shahira bint Zaid is the only child of the Sultan who rules the cursed desert planet of A'Sahra —cursed because every month, a girl is sent to The River, a mysterious spacecraft that appears every new crescent, never to be seen again. Should they refuse, A'Sahra suffers month-long droughts, sickness, and death.
With nothing but her faith, Princess Shahira steps aboard The River, hoping she'll learn how to end the curse. Instead, she's taken to a starship afflicted with a curse of their own: the tormented Caliph takes a bride every month and kills her before the next. S
hahira is his new bride.
