From the New York Times bestselling author of Six Crimson Cranes
comes a fantasy filled with courtly intrigue, deceitful demons, and
breathtaking gowns ... the stakes are higher than ever in this thrilling
sequel to Spin the Dawn!
Maia Tamarin's journey to sew the dresses of the sun, the moon, and the
stars has taken a grievous toll. She returns to a kingdom on the brink
of war. Edan, the boy she loves, is gone--perhaps forever--and no sooner
does she set foot in the Autumn Palace than she is forced to don the
dress of the sun and assume the place of the emperor's bride-to-be to
keep the peace. When the emperor's rivals learn of her deception, there
is hell to pay, but the war raging around Maia is nothing compared to
the battle within.
Ever since she was touched by the demon Bandur, she has been changing
. . . glancing in the mirror to see her own eyes glowing red; losing
control of her magic, her body, her mind. It's only a matter of time
before Maia loses herself completely, and in the meantime she will stop
at nothing to find Edan, protect her family, and bring lasting peace to
her country.
