The Wrath and the Dawn
Renee Ahdieh
Series: The Wrath and the Dawn #1
Publication date: May 12th 2015
by Putnam Juvenile
A sumptuous and epically told love story inspired by A Thousand and One Nights
Every dawn brings horror to a different family in a land ruled by a killer. Khalid, the eighteen-year-old Caliph of Khorasan, takes a new bride each night only to have her executed at sunrise. So it is a suspicious surprise when sixteen-year-old Shahrzad volunteers to marry Khalid. But she does so with a clever plan to stay alive and exact revenge on the Caliph for the murder of her best friend and countless other girls. Shazi’s wit and will, indeed, get her through to the dawn that no others have seen, but with a catch . . . she’s falling in love with the very boy who killed her dearest friend.
She discovers that the murderous boy-king is not all that he seems and neither are the deaths of so many girls. Shazi is determined to uncover the reason for the murders and to break the cycle once and for all.

Thanks for sharing. The Wrath and the Dawn sounds really good. I think my sister would like it too!!

Most of those up there I haven’t heard much about, but I did notice a few titles being released (*cough* End of Days *cough*) that I’d forgotten the release dates on. Now I have to quickly rearrange my budget for the month to try and get them in.
Thank you for posting these round ups for all of us.

I am super excited about The Wrath and the Dawn!
Pili @ In Love With Handmade
I have so many books this week preordered! Oh boy!!
Aimee @ Deadly Darlings
So many titles I’m excited for! Especially The Wrath and the Dawn, Love Fortunes and Other Disasters and Velvet. I’ve already read 5 to 1 and it was FANTASTIC!
Kayla @ The Thousand Lives
Ehhhhh I’m going back and forth about End of Days. I know I want to read it eventually, but I just don’t think I’m in the mood for that genre right now!
I’m really excited for my preorder of The Wrath and the Dawn and Making Pretty to come in, though 😀 I can’t decide which to read first!
