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. The boy she loves is gone, and 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.

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, but she will stop at nothing to find Edan, protect her family, and bring lasting peace to her country.

I just recently finally got around to reading Spin the Dawn and I absolutely LOVED it. It was a book that has a lot of my favorite things – adventure, a bold female protagonist, romance, etc. Also, it kind of had me at the Project Runway like contest at the beginning. After the ending I am absolutely STOKED for this sequel. Unravel the Dusk is expected July 7th, 2020 from Knopf Books for Young Readers.
