'Soon the night will come, and to save my life, I must tell another story.'

So begins the famous tale of Scheherazade, kidnapped from her parent' s home in the desert by the Sultan' s soldiers, and brought to his palace in the city. Every night she must invent a new story - ' for his amusement: for my salvation' - so that she can live to see another dawn. Tormented by a feverish sexuality, Scheherazade tells stories with both words and skin. But after nearly a thousand nights in his palace, Scheherazade realises that the greatest threat to her life may not come from the Sultan himself.

The Nights is a passionate fairy tale about art, love, sex and power. It speaks to the creative struggle that all artists endure: the endless search for authenticity, inspiration and time.

'Lush, opulent and dripping with sensuality, this novella will take you on a journey through 1001 nights that you'd wish would never end.' - Paris Rosemont, Banana Girl
