In a world where fashion isn’t just style—but power—clothing can make you a god… or a ghost.
Seventeen-year-old Sloane Reza is a threadless orphan scraping by as a backroom tailor in the lower districts of the Empire. But when a dangerous fashion relic bonds to her skin, she unlocks a forbidden ability: the power to stitch memory, emotion, and identity into fabric—an art lost to time and feared by the ruling elite.
Now targeted by the Empress and courted by powerful Houses, Sloane finds herself thrust into the deadly world of haute-couture warfare, where runways are battlegrounds and garments are weapons. With the help of a rogue prince who sees beneath her seams, and a rebel designer haunted by his past, Sloane must master her new powers before the Empire threads her into silence.
But fashion has a price.
And in a society where your outfit determines your fate, one wrong stitch can mean death.
Power. Love. Rebellion. Welcome to the FASHION EMPIRE.
