Ancient Wisdom and Palace Intrigue Come Alive in "The King and His Vizier"

What if your life depended on the power of a story? In a kingdom shaken by suspicion and shadowed by prophecy, a trusted vizier finds himself accused of treason, his fate hanging by a thread. To escape execution, he offers the king not pleas, but tales—twenty-eight nights of captivating stories, each holding a hidden lesson. As the king listens, his doubts waver, but time is running out. Will the vizier’s wisdom be enough to save him, or is he merely postponing the inevitable?

This collection revives a classic storytelling tradition, bringing together a series of timeless fables woven into a larger narrative of trust, deception, and fate. From cunning tricksters to devoted lovers, from foolish kings to wise beggars, each tale offers insight into human nature while keeping the listener—and the reader—on edge. With every night that passes, the tension mounts, leading to a conclusion that will linger long after the final page.

The stories within this book have traveled through centuries, whispered by storytellers and adapted for new generations. Now, they have been reimagined in a way that preserves their essence while making them accessible to modern readers. This is not just a book of fables; it is a study of power, persuasion, and the enduring impact of a well-told tale.

If you enjoy historical intrigue, layered storytelling, and the magic of fables that reveal deeper truths, this is a book you won’t want to miss. The journey begins with the first night’s tale—but where it ends is for you to discover.
