One Thousand and One Nights, Volume 11

Parted by political and personal conflict, Sehara and Sultan Shahryar have long been passing each other like ships in the night. Sehara, imprisoned in China and bereft over the sultan's reported death, attempts to achieve closure through one of his epic tales, this time by setting the sultan's -- and his own -- tragic story to paper. But when Shahryar, who is far from dead, reaches the shores of Beijing in search of his beloved bard, will the two be able to best fate and give their story the happy ending it so richly deserves?
