The Six Cranes
An exiled princess, a shape-shifting dragon, six enchanted cranes and an unspeakable curse...
Shiori’anma, the only princess of the Kingdom of Kiata, hides a secret: forbidden magic runs through her veins. Normally, she manages to hide her powers, but on the morning of her wedding ceremony, Shiori loses control. At first, her mistake appears as a stroke of luck, postponing the wedding she never wanted.
However, it also catches the attention of her sorceress stepmother, who banishes Shiori from the kingdom, turning her brothers into cranes and confining her to anonymity and silence: for every word that escapes the princess's lips, one of her brothers will die.
Alone, voiceless and helpless, Shiori must break her stepmother's spell and save her brothers to be able to return home. However, she ends up discovering a dark conspiracy against the throne of Kiata and only she can restore order in the kingdom, but to do so she will have to place her trust in the very young man she fought so hard not to marry. And she will have to embrace the magic she has learned to renounce her whole life, whatever the cost.
The Six Cranes is the first volume of Elizabeth Lim's highly anticipated duology, which transports us to a meticulously crafted fantasy universe, inspired by acclaimed folk tales such as The Wild Swans and Cinderella, and draws on elements of Asian mythology.
