Weaving 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.

And she must embrace the magic she's been taught all her life to forswear-no matter what the cost. 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. Penniless, voiceless, and alone, Shiori searches for her brothers, and uncovers a dark conspiracy to seize the throne. She warns Shiori that she must speak of it to no one: for with every word that escapes her lips, one of her brothers will die. Therefore, she decided to write this novel, being inspired by the fairy tale and weaving some Chinese and Japanese mythology into it. The author had a childhood attachment to this fairy tale and felt like there weren’t many retellings. But it also catches the attention of Raikama, her stepmother.Ī sorceress in her own right, Raikama banishes the young princess, turning her brothers into cranes. Six Crimson Cranes by Elizabeth Lim is a retelling of a fairy tale called The Wild Swans. At first, her mistake seems like a stroke of luck, forestalling the wedding she never wanted. Normally she conceals it well, but on the morning of her betrothal ceremony, Shiori loses control.
