About this listen

A dragon's kingdom. A star-crossed love. And a cursed pearl with the power to mend the world, or break it...

Shiori's quest continues in the soaring sequel to the New York Times bestselling young adult fantasy Six Crimson Cranes.

Princess Shiori made a deathbed promise to return the dragon's pearl to its rightful owner, but keeping that promise is more dangerous than she ever imagined.

She must journey to the kingdom of dragons, navigate political intrigue among humans and dragons alike, fend off thieves who covet the pearl for themselves and will go to any lengths to get it, all the while cultivating the appearance of a perfect princess to dissuade those who would see her burned at the stake for the magic that runs in her blood.

The pearl itself is no ordinary cargo; it thrums with malevolent power, jumping to Shiori's aid one minute, and betraying her the next—threatening to shatter her family and sever the thread of fate that binds her to her true love. It will take every ounce of strength Shiori can muster to defend the life and the love she's fought so hard to win.

unfortunately I loved the first book so much, no sequel is probably going to be as good, but it's not far off. it starts off with much more action, than the more character driven first book, so was initially worried the story wouldn't be as good. but though there is more generally action, as the story progresses it involves the other characters more. and I thought the ending was quite beautiful.

great follow up
