New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2019. 392 pp, plus exerpt from "Unravel the Dusk", 8 1/2" H. "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. 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." A light bump to the bottom of the spine, minor rubbing on the boards. Dust jacket has light wrinkling at the bottom of the spine, very minor edge wear.. First Edition.. Hard Cover. Very Good+/Very Good+. Illus. by Tran Nguyen, dust jacket art. Map by Virginia Allyn..
