a talented tailor behind the scenes.
Three storied gowns.
A competition to remember.
Maia Tamarin is a seamstress in her father's business, a once renowned tailor, on the outskirts of the Great Spice Road. As a girl, the most she can aspire for is to marry well, but her goal is to become the finest tailor in the nation.
Maia pretends to be her father's son and goes to the Summer Palace in his stead when a royal messenger calls her sick father to court. She is aware that revealing her secret would result in her death, but she is willing to take the chance in order to save her family from going bankrupt and fulfil her ambition of becoming the imperial tailor. The only hitch is that Maia is competing with twelve other tailors for the position.
The competition is fierce, and Maia's work is made more difficult by Edan, the court enchanter, who appears to be able to see right through her disguise. However, nothing could have prepared her for the ultimate task: crafting three dresses so breathtakingly exquisite that they would need a journey to the farthest reaches of the globe to be finished...
