A beautiful and immersive YA fantasy retelling of the Grimm brothers'
The Six Swans fairytale, set in an East-Asian inspired world.

Princess
Shiori'anma has a secret: forbidden magic runs in her veins. Until she loses control on the morning of her unwanted betrothal, and is discovered by her stepmother, Raikama.

A sorcerous in her own right, Raikama banishes Shiori, transforming her brothers into cranes, and warning her that she must speak of it to no one: for with every word that escapes her lips, one of her brothers will die.

But as Shiori searches for her brothers, she uncovers a dark conspiracy to seize the throne. To save her kingdom, she must place her trust in a paper bird, a mercurial dragon, and the boy she fought so hard not to marry. And she must embrace the magic she's been taught all her life to contain - no matter what it costs.
