The History of the Young King of the Black Isles Audiobook

From the rich storytelling tradition of the Arabian Nights comes a haunting tale of enchantment, betrayal, and royal justice.

When a wandering sultan arrives at a mysterious castle beside a silent lake, he discovers a prince whose fate defies belief. The young King of the Black Isles has been cursed by his own queen—transformed into half man and half marble by a powerful sorceress whose cruelty destroyed an entire kingdom.

The once-great city has vanished beneath enchanted waters. Its people have been turned into fish of four colors, each representing the faiths that once lived together in the king’s realm. Every day the prince endures a brutal punishment at the hands of the treacherous queen, unable to defend himself against the magic that binds him.

Moved by the prince’s tragic story, the visiting sultan resolves to confront the enchantress and restore the ruined kingdom—setting in motion a daring plan of deception, courage, and revenge.

Filled with dark magic, palace intrigue, and the timeless moral power of folklore, The History of the Young King of the Black Isles is one of the most dramatic and unforgettable tales from the legendary world of Middle Eastern storytelling.
