內容簡介

內容簡介 結合《Project Runway》與《花木蘭》元素的奇幻YA小說 Maia Tamarin從小就立志要成為全國最頂尖的裁縫師，但身為一名女孩，大家對她的期待，只有期望她能嫁戶好人家。 Maia的父親曾經是位有名望的裁縫師，但現在身體不好，卻受皇室召見，Maia得知此消息，二話不說女扮男裝替父親應召。雖然承受著被發現的風險，但比起失去父親的痛苦，Maia代父爭奪12取1的頂尖裁縫師的位置，也是一種實現自己夢想的方式。 成為頂尖裁縫師，最極限的挑戰，是以太陽的微笑、月亮的眼淚與星星的血液三種元素，縫製皇室嫁衣，為了取得這些珍貴的元素，Maia遠征遙遠的國境，卻也經歷了一段不可思議的歷程… When Maia Tamarin is presented with an opportunity to change her fortunes, she doesn't think twice about dressing as a boy and traveling to the Summer Palace to attain it. She knows she could lose her life if she is discovered, but the risk is worth it to save her family from ruin and achieve her own dream of becoming tailor to the emperor. There's just one catch: Maia is one of twelve tailors vying for the job. Backstabbing and lies run rampant as the tailors compete in a series of challenges to prove their artistry and skill. Maia's task is further complicated when she draws the attention of the court magician, Edan, whose piercing eyes seem to see straight through her disguise. But nothing could prepare her for the final challenge: Maia must sew three magic gowns for the emperor's reluctant bride-to-be, from the laughter of the sun, the tears of the moon, and the blood of stars. With this impossible task before her, she embarks on a journey to the far reaches of the kingdom, seeking the sun, the moon, and the stars, and finding more than she ever could have imagined. . . . Steeped in Chinese culture, sizzling with forbidden romance, and shimmering with magic, this young adult fantasy is pitch-perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas or Renée Ahdieh.
