Summary

In the final days of a fading empire, Elira, the royal seamstress, is summoned to craft the last coronation robe for Prince Coren—the reluctant heir to a crumbling throne. Within the walls of a palace haunted by betrayal and secrecy, she begins her delicate work. But thread and silk cannot conceal the ghosts that linger in the seams.
 
As Elira stitches, memories awaken—of forbidden love, lost loyalties, and an unfinished design she once swore to forget. Each knot she ties pulls her deeper into a web of rebellion long buried beneath gold leaf and false oaths. When mysterious symbols begin to appear in her work—symbols she didn’t sew—Elira realizes someone else is speaking through the fabric.
 
Torn between silence and truth, she must navigate a court steeped in lies, a prince desperate for redemption, and a love story unraveling in the background. But the robe she’s creating is more than ceremonial. It’s a message. And someone intends for it to be read.
 
As the crown hovers above a kingdom’s future, Elira must face a choice sewn into every hem: preserve the illusion—or expose everything.
 
What happens when the robe meant to honor the crown becomes the key to its undoing?
