A feminist fairy tale inspired by One Thousand and One Nights (or Arabian Nights, as the folk tale collection is also known), The 100 Nights of Hero was published by Little, Brown and Company in December 2016.
The story centers around two women, Cherry and Hero, who are in love. Cherry is married to a man named Jerome, who, despite his marriage, makes a bet with his friend, a lecherous villain named Manfred, that Manfred can seduce Cherry within 100 nights.
