Meer over het boek

VAULT EDITION: featuring a brand-new colourway, beautiful foil design under the jacket, and a new letter from the author. A princess in exile, six enchanted cranes, and an unspeakable curse intertwine in this immersive YA fantasy retelling of the Grimm brothers' The Six Swans, set in an East-Asian inspired world. Shiori'anma, the only princess of Kiata, harbors a secret: forbidden magic flows through her veins. On the day of her betrothal ceremony, Shiori loses control of her powers. Initially, this mishap appears to delay the wedding she dreads, but it attracts the ire of her stepmother, Raikama, a sorceress who banishes Shiori and transforms her brothers into cranes. Raikama warns Shiori that speaking of her plight will lead to her brothers' demise. Alone and voiceless, Shiori embarks on a quest to find her brothers, uncovering a dark conspiracy threatening the throne. To restore order, she must rely on a paper bird, a capricious dragon, and the boy she resisted marrying, all while embracing the very magic she was taught to suppress—regardless of the cost. Praise for this enchanting tale includes accolades for its captivating storytelling and whimsical fantasy elements.
