Description

“A dazzling fairytale” — Stephanie Garber, on Six Crimson Cranes

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

Princess Shiori's life has never been straightforward, but her journey becomes even more treacherous as she attempts to fulfil a deathbed promise in Elizabeth Lim's breathtaking sequel The Dragon's Promise. Following the New York Times bestselling Six Crimson Cranes, this novel continues the enchanting tale of Shiori as she strives to return a dragon's pearl to its rightful owner.

With the pearl's malevolent power looming over her, Shiori embarks on a perilous journey to the dragon kingdom. Along the way, she must navigate the treacherous waters of both dragon and human politics, fending off thieves who thirst for the pearl’s power while maintaining the facade of a perfect princess. All the while, the magic in her blood is a dangerous secret that could lead to her downfall.

The pearl is no ordinary cargo. It is a double-edged sword: one moment aiding Shiori, the next threatening to destroy everything she holds dear. As she struggles to keep her promises, Shiori finds herself facing impossible choices that could sever the thread of fate binding her to her true love and tear her family apart. Every ounce of strength she possesses will be needed to protect the life and love she has so fiercely fought for.

Elizabeth Lim's storytelling shines brilliantly in The Dragon's Promise, weaving an intricate tapestry of magic, adventure, and emotion that will captivate readers from the first page to the last.
