Her resilience attracts the attention of Edan, the charming enchanter with a thousand secrets. Once she’s there, she’s never fooled by the false kindness of her competitors, dodging treachery from every side. She doesn’t quite fit in with the other people in her village, so escaping to the capitol is a dream come true. She’s smart, resourceful, and determined, and she cares deeply for her family, even when they fail her. Maia is the kind of protagonist that you can immediately fall in love with.
Though she faces death if she’s caught, Maia is determined to win, fighting through the competition with the help of the royal enchanter and a pair of scissors that just might be magical. Maia sees her opportunity and takes it, disguising herself as a man in order to compete for the prestigious royal tailor’s position. That all changes when the Emperor summons the greatest tailors in the land to court. As the only daughter of an ailing tailor, she’s taken on most of her father’s and brother’s responsibilities, even though she won’t receive credit as a woman.
