Una versión fantástica del cuento de los Seis cisnes de los Hermanos Grimm.Shiori?anma, la única princesa de Kiata, tiene un secreto. La magia prohibida corre por sus venas, y en la mañana de su ceremonia de compromiso Shiori pierde el control. Al principio, su error parece un golpe de suerte, evitando la boda que nunca quiso, pero tambien atrae la atencion de Raikama, su madrastra. Raikama es una poderosa hechicera y destierra a la joven princesa, convirtiendo a sus hermanos en grullas, y advirtiendo a Shiori que no debe hablar de ello con nadie: por cada palabra que pronuncie morira un hermano. Sin voz y sola, Shiori emprende la busqueda de sus hermanos y descubre una oscura conspiracion para hacerse con el trono. Solo Shiori puede salvar el reino, pero antes debe confiar en un pajaro de papel, un dragon volatil, y en el mismo chico con el que tanto lucho por no casarse. Y debe abrazar la magia que le han enseñado a suprimir toda su vida, sin importar lo que cueste. Deslumbrante. Stephanie Garber, autora de Caraval Magica. Kristine Cashore, autora de Graceling Un cuento de hadas adictivo y arrollador. Kerri Maniscalco, autora de El reino de los malditos
