Hacía tiempo que no buscaba algún retelling (tanto para esta sección como en general), pero hace unos días, por casualidad, me encontré con este. Está inspirado en Las mil y una noches y tiene muy muy buena pinta...

Sinopsis:
One Life to One Dawn.
In a land ruled by a murderous boy-king, each dawn brings heartache to a new family. Khalid, the eighteen-year-old Caliph of Khorasan, is a monster. Each night he takes a new bride only to have a silk cord wrapped around her throat come morning. When sixteen-year-old Shahrzad's dearest friend falls victim to Khalid, Shahrzad vows vengeance and volunteers to be his next bride. Shahrzad is determined not only to stay alive, but to end the caliph's reign of terror once and for all.
Night after night, Shahrzad beguiles Khalid, weaving stories that enchant, ensuring her survival, though she knows each dawn could be her last. But something she never expected begins to happen: Khalid is nothing like what she'd imagined him to be. This monster is a boy with a tormented heart. Incredibly, Shahrzad finds herself falling in love. How is this possible? It's an unforgivable betrayal. Still, Shahrzad has come to understand all is not as it seems in this palace of marble and stone. She resolves to uncover whatever secrets lurk and, despite her love, be ready to take Khalid's life as retribution for the many lives he's stolen. Can their love survive this world of stories and secrets?
Inspired by A Thousand and One Nights, The Wrath and the Dawn is a sumptuous and enthralling read from beginning to end.

¡Hola Wendy!
ResponderEliminarMe encantaría que alguna editorial tuviera interés en publicar en España esta preciosa bilogía, a poder ser con su portada original. Leí los libros este verano en inglés y acabe enamorada de la historia, los personajes y la ambientación. ¡Son maravillosos! Y valdría la pena la traducción para que mas gente conociera estos libros. Espero que alguna editorial te oiga y los publiquen, jaja.
¡Besos! 😘
¡Ohhhhhhhh! Me encanta cuando alguien ha leído los libros que quiero que publiquen. Siento como si tuviese el poder jajajaj
