Seraphine Cardenie thought she was living her fairytale. As the youngest person to ever obtain the title of Grand Couturier, she’s made fantastical creations, traveled the world, and sewn her name into the hearts of royalty. So imagine her surprise when a fox pushes her down a hole, and she’s thrust into an entirely new story.

The Land Where Dreams Descend is no place for a human, which is just as well, because Seraphine has every intention of returning home expeditiously. But after a terrible misstep that draws the ire of the arrogant and outrageous King of Dreams, Seraphine is staring down imprisonment and possibly even execution. So she strikes a bargain: her freedom for garments of such beauty the land has never seen. But the king’s extravagance threatens to be Seraphine’s undoing when he tasks her with three impossible trials, sewing the sun, the moon, and the night sky.

In over her head, Seraphine must find a way to do what has never been done if she ever wishes to return home. Add in a well-meaning but clumsy tiger, a talking cat who seems determined for her to fail, a meddling advisor, and the arrogant king himself, and Seraphine has far more to worry about than just her designs.
