In the heart of the Great Spice Road, Maia Tamarin yearns to be the most renowned tailor in the land, but as a girl, her aspirations are limited to finding a suitable husband. However, when a royal messenger calls her father to court, Maia seizes an opportunity of a lifetime. Assuming the disguise of a man, she embarks on a perilous journey to the Summer Palace, where she will compete for the emperor's favor and the prestigious role of imperial tailor. If her true identity is revealed, Maia's life will be forfeited. But if she triumphs, she will fulfill her deepest dream.
Yet, Maia is ill-prepared for the arduous task that awaits her: to create three magical gowns for the emperor's bride-to-be. Each gown must be fashioned from a different celestial element: one derived from the laughter of the sun, another from the tears of the moon, and the third from the blood of stars. Accompanied by the enigmatic court enchanter, whose piercing eyes seem to pierce through her disguise, Maia embarks on a perilous quest to gather the sun, the moon, and the stars, and uncovers secrets that surpass her wildest imagination.
Spin the Dawn is a captivating young adult fantasy novel steeped in Chinese culture, brimming with forbidden romance, and shimmering with magic. It will captivate fans of Sarah J. Maas and Renée Ahdieh, offering a thrilling and unforgettable adventure.
