❝RUIN ME. BURN ME. I'M YOURS.❞
Kadar al-Din Rumi, Caliph of Khorashtar, is a cold-blooded murderer, and is known by the people of his country as such. Every dusk, he marries a new woman; and by dawn, he has slit her throat. It is a vicious cycle of murder and torment of girls and their families.
When the ruthless king sets his sights on the sister of Zeinab Nejem, Zeinab knows that she will never let a monster win. She decides to take her sister's place, to survive longer than any other one of King Kadar's wives, and then, when the time comes, to murder him the way he murdered so many.
