Summary:
Project Runway meets Mulan in this sweeping fantasy steeped in Chinese culture, sizzling with forbidden romance, and shimmering with magic. Maia Tamarin 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--once a tailor of renown--to court, Maia makes the ultimate sacrifice and poses as a boy to take his place. She knows her life is forfeit if her secret is discovered, but she'll take that risk to achieve her dream and save her family from ruin. Now Maia must somehow complete the impossible task of sewing three magic gowns for the emperor's bride-to-be from the sun's laughter, the moon's tears, and the blood of stars. Backstabbing and lies run rampant as the tailors compete in challenges to prove their artistry and skill.
