Badr al-Budur & Kamar al-Zamān —a rebellious princess with hair as dark as night & a bold prince with a moonlit brow.

Their fears are alike, their actions mirror each other, their dreams are the same—yet miles keep them apart. Their meeting seems impossible. But why not?

Demons quarrel and play tricks, the world turns upside down—a helicopter here, gunpowder there, contraceptive pills, plastic surgery…

A shrivelled king, thunderous cries, a jealous sultan, a dash of poetry. Finally, to crown—or uncrown—it all, a few heads roll. Why not?
