Įlizabeth Lim grew up on a hearty staple of fairy tales, myths, and songs. 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. 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. There's just one catch: Maia is one of twelve tailors vying for the job. 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. When a royal messenger summons her ailing father to court, Maia poses as his son and travels to the Summer Palace in his place.

On the fringes of the Great Spice Road, Maia Tamarin works as a seamstress in the shop of her father, once a tailor of renown.
