I Read Stories: Girls With Needles And Frost by Jenny Rae Rappaport

Girls With Needles And Frost by Jenny Rae Rappaport in Beneath Ceaseless Skies

Three times the dragon has come to save the land with dark wings and frost, when the land has been in danger and every window shows a purple star. So the occupiers destroy everything purple and everything that might dye purple and the women in the dressmaker shop keep getting raided. Do they believe in the dragon? They do believe it might signal an uprising.

And one of the dressmakers has to be an informer for a soldier and to kiss him and want to save him, and to use him for what he knows and can do, and maybe they will put a purple star in the window and the dragon will come.
