Forbidden magic runs through her veins. Normally she conceals it well, but on the morning of her betrothal ceremony, Shiori loses control.

But it also catches the attention of Raikama, her stepmother.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA sorceress in her own right, Raikama banishes the young princess, turning her brothers into cranes.

Only Shiori can set the kingdom to rights, but to do so she must place her trust in a paper bird, a mercurial dragon, and the very boy she fought so hard not to marry. And she must embrace the magic she's been taught all her life to forswear--no matter what the cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWeaving together elements of The Wild Swans, Cinderella, the legend of Chang E, and the Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, Elizabeth Lim has crafted a fantasy like no other, and one that will stay with readers long after they've turned the last page.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Knopf Books for Young Readers, 2021","offers":[{"title":"Six Crimson Cranes \/ Very Good","offer_id":47962548044068,"sku":"9780593300916VG","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/9951\/4148\/products\/9780593300916.jpg?v=1706978987","url":"https:\/\/brookingsbooks.com\/products\/9780593300916","provider":"Brookings Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
