Publisher's Summary

From the New York Times best-selling 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.

What the critics say

“Elements of Chinese culture enrich the nail-biter plot, and the beautifully written prose delivers a satisfying conclusion to a standout duology.”—Booklist

“The strength of this story lies in Maia’s internal struggles and the ways the author weaves in lessons learned through various Asian myths and legends. . . . Readers who enjoyed the first book will find everything amped up here.”—Kirkus Reviews

Disappointed

Unravel the dusk had such great potential but somewhere along the way I lost interest in the story and it took me such a long time to finish. it's a shame since the first book was pretty interesting and good. In this book I felt that I couldn't relate to Maia any more and I found the secondary characters to be boring. The ending was predictable and just meh. I think I would have liked the book more if I didnt get annoyed but everthing Maia did. Overall the book was just ok, would I recommend it to anyone probably not
