Ten years ago, she was the capital’s most celebrated embroiderer, until the crown prince she loved mutilated her face, severed her fingers, and cast her into a dungeon. Ten years later, she returns behind a veil, posing as a spice merchant from the Western Regions, and weaves an inescapable trap from seven embroidered works. A peony screen brings death, poison hides in the gold threads of an imperial robe, and a medicinal pillow reveals a shocking conspiracy... Every stitch is steeped in blood; every thread ensnares a soul. One by one, those who wronged her are dressed in the shrouds she embroidered. When her enemies kneel at her feet, she removes her veiled hat and reveals her burned face. “Your Majesty, I’ve come back for you.”
