Elizabeth Lim

    Alžbeta Limová, ovplyvnená rozprávkami a mýtmi, objavila svoju vášeň pre písanie už v detstve. Jej texty, často inšpirované folklórom a hudbou, sa vyznačujú jedinečným hlasom a romantickými prvkami. Po prestávke, počas ktorej sa venovala hudobnej kompozícii a získala doktorát, sa vrátila k písaniu, ktoré teraz považuje za svoju hlavnú vášeň. Jej súčasná tvorba reflektuje hlboký záujem o príbehy a často sa prelína s jej láskou k hudbe a vizuálnemu umeniu.

      Shiori, jediná princezná Kiaty, má tajomstvo. V jej žilách koluje zakázaná mágia. Za normálnych okolností ju dobre skrýva, ale ráno v deň zásnubného obradu nad ňou stratí kontrolu. Spočiatku jej to pripadá ako zásah šťasteny, keďže zabráni svadbe, ktorú nikdy nechcela, ale zároveň upúta pozornosť Raikamy, jej nevlastnej matky. Raikama oplýva svojou vlastnou temnou mágiou a mladú princeznú vyženie. Jej bratov premení na žeriavy a varuje Shiori, aby o tom nikomu nehovorila, pretože pri každom slove, ktoré jej unikne z úst, jeden z jej bratov zomrie. Bezradná a osamelá Shiori bez hlasu pátra po bratoch a na svojej ceste odhalí sprisahanie s cieľom zmocniť sa trónu - sprisahanie zvrátenejšie a zákernejšie, rafinovanejšie a zložitejšie ako Raikamina zrada. Jedine Shiori môže dať kráľovstvo do poriadku, ale aby to dokázala, musí dôverovať chlapcovi, za ktorého sa tak veľmi nechcela vydať. A musí prijať mágiu, ktorú ju celý život učili zadržiavať - bez ohľadu na to, čo ju to bude stáť.
