When Shiori loses control of her magic during her betrothal ceremony, she catches the eye of her stepmother, the sorceress Raikama. Banished and silenced, Shiori watches as her six brothers are transformed into cranes. Raikama leaves her with a harrowing ultimatum: for every word Shiori speaks, one of her brothers will perish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVoiceless and penniless, Shiori must navigate a kingdom fraught with conspiracy and dark magic. To break the curse and reclaim the throne, she is forced to rely on an unlikely band of allies—a sentient paper bird, a mercurial shapeshifting dragon, and the very suitor she once sought to avoid. To save her family and her kingdom, Shiori must finally embrace the magic she was taught to fear, regardless of the personal cost. This is a story of unrelenting hope, the strength of familial bonds, and the courage to find one's voice in the midst of silence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9; padding: 15px; border-radius: 5px; margin-top: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"margin-top: 0;\"\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElizabeth Lim\u003c\/strong\u003e is the \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e bestselling author of \u003cem\u003eSpin the Dawn\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eUnravel the Dusk\u003c\/em\u003e.
