This beloved romantic fantasy from award-winning, New York Times
bestselling author Shannon Hale celebrates its 10th anniversary with a
gorgeous new cover.
When Lady Saren refuses to marry a man she fears, she and her maid,
Dashti, are locked in a tower with just a tiny flap open to the outside
world. As food runs low and the weather changes from broiling hot to
unbearably cold, it is all Dashti can do to make them comfortable in
their dark prison.
Not long after their confinement begins, Saren's suitors arrive--one
welcome, the other less so-and she orders Dashti to speak to them.
Impersonating Lady Saren is a crime punishable by death, but Dashti will
have to play the role many times if she is to save them both from the
tower and the dangers outside. As she takes control of their desperate
situation, Dashti begins to understand her own astonishing talents and
believe that even a low-born maid can find true love.
Master storyteller Shannon Hale's beloved Book of a Thousand Days is
equal parts fantastical and romantic, with an unforgettable protagonist
to root for at its center.
