A letter from Renée Ahdieh
There are
not enough words to express how thrilled I am to share The Wrath and The Dawn with you! From the moment I typed the first word, I felt connected to Shahrzad
and her world in a way that carried me through the long process of publication
to where we are today.
Everything
about this process has been a dream come true, and hope you love my book half
as much as I enjoyed writing it. In celebration of release day, I'll be giving
away a signed, first edition hardcover of the book, as well as a gorgeous scarf
. . . or two!
Always
remember to make it a story worthy of you!
Renée
