NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A princess in exile, a shapeshifting dragon, six enchanted cranes, and an unspeakable curse... Drawing from fairy tales and East Asian folklore, this original fantasy from the author of Spin the Dawn is perfect for fans of Shadow and Bone.
"A dazzling fairytale full of breathtaking storytelling." --Stephanie Garber, New York Times bestselling author of Caraval
Shiori'anma, the only princess of Kiata, has a secret. Forbidden magic runs through her veins. Normally she conceals it well, but on the morning of her betrothal ceremony, Shiori loses control. At first, her mistake seems like a stroke of luck, forestalling the wedding she never wanted. But it also catches the attention of Raikama, her stepmother.
A sorceress in her own right, Raikama banishes the young princess, turning her brothers into cranes. 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.
Penniless, voiceless, and alone, Shiori searches for her brothers, and uncovers a dark conspiracy to seize the throne. 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.
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.
"A stunning remake of a fairytale. Six Crimson Cranes is the perfect blend of whimsy and ferociousness, with twists and turns that will tug at your heartstrings ." —Chloe Gong , New York Times bestselling author of These Violent Delights
" Fast-paced excitement is balanced with a satisfyingly intricate plot that weaves in elements from Western fairy tales and East Asian folklore." — SLJ, starred review
“A richly imagined landscape . . . vibrant, fast-paced.”
— Publishers Weekly, starred review

Bonds of Blood and Threads of Magic
"Six Crimson Cranes" is a spellbinding fantasy that lingers long after the final page. With this novel, Elizabeth Lim crafts a story that is at once fairy-tale delicate and emotionally profound, weaving classic motifs into an Asian-inspired world shaped by grace, cruelty, and quiet resilience. Princess Shiori’s journey lies at the heart of the narrative. Cursed into silence and burdened by forbidden magic, she must navigate a world where even a single word could mean death for those she loves. Her transformation—from a sheltered, impulsive princess into a young woman defined by quiet strength, courage, and remarkable self-discipline—is rendered with striking sensitivity. Lim allows Shiori to grow gradually, believably, and with emotional nuance. The prose is lush yet restrained: lyrical without becoming overwrought, melancholic without ever feeling heavy. The bond between Shiori and her brothers carries a tender emotional weight, while the ache of enforced silence adds a poignant undercurrent to every scene. The slow-burn romance unfolds with softness and subtlety, enhancing rather than overshadowing the central themes. Beloved figures such as Kiki and the enigmatic dragon lend warmth and magic to an already richly layered tale. "Six Crimson Cranes" is an atmospheric and beautifully told beginning to a duology that reimagines familiar folklore with originality and heart. A moving, multifaceted fairy tale about loss, loyalty, and the strength to fight for what is right—even without a voice. For me, it is an undeniable highlight.
