Una princesa exiliada, un dragón que cambia de forma, seis grullas encantadas, y una maldición indescriptible...Se necesitará algo más que magia para encontrar el camino a casa. 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 salga de sus labios, uno de sus hermanos morira. 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

La segunda parte de Seis Grullas.La princesa Shiori prometió a La Reina Sin Nombre devolver la perla del dragón a su legítimo dueño, pero mantener esa promesa será más peligroso de lo que jamás imagino. Para hacerlo, debera viajar a Ai?long, navegar por intrincadas politicas entre humanos y dragones, y defenderse de los ladrones que codician la perla para si mismos, mientras mantiene la apariencia de una princesa perfecta para protegerse de aquellos que la quemarian en la hoguera por el odio a la magia que corre por su sangre. La perla en si no es una simple carga: vibra con poder malevolo, a veces acudiendo en ayuda de Shiori, otras, traicionandola, amenazando con destrozar a su familia y cortar el hilo del destino que la une a su verdadero amor. Shiori necesitara toda la fuerza que pueda reunir para proteger la vida y el amor por los que tanto ha luchado.
