The storytellers Daughter

The book "The storytellers Daughter" By Cameron Dokey is a fantastic book.The book begins with the tale of how "King Sharayar" sent his Brother "King Shazaman" to come visit him.But the night when his Brother went to leave he found out that his wife planned to kill him,so he killed her and left his part of the country to Shayrayar's.When Shazaman was there he found out that he was not the only one who could be deceived for his Brothers wife planned to kill him too.The plan was foiled but Shayar was so upset about it that he went crazy and made a proclamation that he will take a wife for one night and kill her the next morning so she cannot take advantage of him.Sharazad is the great storytellers daughter and knows that she is the only one who can stop him from taking many girls lives.This book was really good although the ending wasn't as interesting as it could have been.
