Spin the Dawn - The Blood of Stars
Spin the Dawn - The Blood of Stars

Fashion meets magic in this epic journey.

"Spin the Dawn is a perfect blend of competition, romance, and magic. The story of Maia Tamarin, a girl posing as a boy to compete for the imperial tailor position, is a white-knuckled read. With an attention to detail and a palpable sense of adventure, Lim weaves a story that is gripping from start to finish. The book's unique feature is its blend of the fashion industry and Chinese culture that is both mesmerizing and refreshing. If you're looking for a magical story with a strong female lead, Spin the Dawn is the book for you."

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

A gifted tailor in disguise. Three magic dresses. The competition of a lifetime. On the fringes of the Great Spice Road, Maia Tamarin works as a steamstress in the shop of her father, once a tailor of renown. She dreams of becoming the greatest tailor in the land but, as a girl, the best she can hope for is to marry well. When a royal messenger summons her ailing father to court, Maia poses as his son and travels to the Summer Palace in his place. She knows her life is forfeit if her secret is discovered, but she'll take that risk to save her family from ruin and achieve her dream of becoming the imperial tailor. There's just one catch: Maia is one of twelve tailors vying for the job. The competition is cutthroat, and Maia's job is further complicated by the unwelcome attention of the court enchanter, Edan, who seems to see straight through her disguise. But nothing could have prepared her for the final challenge to sew three gowns so dangerously beautiful, it will take a quest to the ends of the earth to complete them...
