![]() ![]() ![]() Penniless, voiceless, and alone, Shiori searches for her brothers, and, on her journey, uncovers a conspiracy to overtake the throne-a conspiracy more twisted and deceitful, more cunning and complex, than even Raikama’s betrayal. Raikama has dark magic of her own, and she banishes the young princess, turning her brothers into cranes, and warning Shiori that she must speak of it to no one: for with every word that escapes her lips, one of her brothers will die. 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. Normally she conceals it well, but on the morning of her betrothal ceremony, Shiori loses control. ![]() Shiori, the only princess of Kiata, has a secret. ![]()

From 1811 until 1816, with the release of Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma (1815), she achieved success as a published writer.
