Six Crimson Cranes
A sweeping YA fantasy from Elizabeth Lim, inspired by East Asian folklore and the fairy tale "The Wild Swans." Shiori, princess of Kiata, has a secret magic she has hidden her whole life. When it is accidentally revealed on the morning of her betrothal ceremony, her stepmother curses her and her six brothers: the princes are turned into cranes, and Shiori is forbidden from speaking, for every word she utters will cost one of her brothers his life. Exiled and unable to ask for help, Shiori must journey across the kingdom to break the curse, expose her stepmother's dark plans, and save her family and her country. A richly imagined tale of sacrifice, sibling love, and quiet courage.
