About this ebook
From the New York Times bestselling 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.

A big thank you to NetGalley and Elizabeth Lim for allowing me the pleasure to read an eARC of Unravel the Dusk! I loved Spin the Dawn and anxiously awaiting the sequel to finish the duology and was completely worth the wait! Elizabeth is such an amazing author, she has woven a story as beautiful as a tapestry created by Maia with her magical scissors. I was enchanted by this book, Maia was a force to be reckoned with in this novel, the changes she had to battle both physical and mental were such difficult challenges, then add a war, demons, ghosts, lies, love, loyalty and betrayals... and WOW! I was swept away and never wanted to put this amazing novel down. Everyone should read Spin the Dawn and Unravel the Dusk, I will reading everything Elizabeth Lim writes! I will post my review on Netgalley, Goodreads, Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Google play
