The Wrath And The Dawn, by Renee Ahdieh

Drawing from the grandeur of a magical, Middle Eastern–flavored setting, this A Thousand And One Nights unspinning has it all—revolution and politics, a slow-simmering, impossible romance, and vengeance, of course, all unfolding in lush, lyrical language.

And finding love with the enemy in the process? Confounding, yes. But delicious indeed.
