“A gorgeous weave of romantic fantasy and urgent politics.” —Anna Smith Spark, author of The Court of Broken Knives

In an enchanting world of sartorial sorcery, court intrigue, and revolutionary royals, a magical seamstress joins forces with her revolutionary leader brother in a deadly bid to change history in the thrilling conclusion of the French Revolution-inspired historical fantasy series, The Unraveled Kingdom

The civil war that the charm caster Sophie and the Crown Prince Theodor tried so desperately to avert has come to Galitha. 

While Theodor joins Sophie’s brother and his Reformist comrades in battle, hoping to turn the tide against the better-supplied and better-trained Royalist army, Sophie leverages the only weapon she has: charm and curse casting. She weaves her signature magic into uniforms and supplies but soon discovers that the challenges of a full-scale war are far greater than the entrepreneurial concerns of her small Galithan dress shop. 

The fractured leadership of the Reformist army must coalesce, the people of Galitha unite against enormous odds, and Sophie creates more than a little magical luck, in order to have a chance of victory.

Praise for The Unraveled Kingdom:

“Smart, thrilling, and full of charm, Rule is the perfect sendoff for the tale of Sophie Balstrade.”—Mike Chen, author of Here and Now and Then

“Miller places immigrant ambition and women’s lives at the heart of her magical tale of politics and revolution. I was utterly enchanted by this unique, clever, and subtly fierce fantasy. —Tasha Suri, author of The Jasmine Throne

“Miller weaves a fresh, richly textured world full of magic-stitched ball gowns and revolutionary pamphlets. The vivid, complex setting and deeply human characters make for an absorbing read!” —Melissa Caruso, author of The Obsidian Tower
