The end of what we have of this world that I’m just head over heels in love with. I actually really struggled when it came to writing this review, purely because it meant the end. It will take every ounce of strength Shiori can muster to defend the life and the love she’s fought so hard to win.Today’s review is for Elizabeth Lim’s latest book, The Dragon’s Promise, which is the epic conclusion to the story of her character Princess Shiori. 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. 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. 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.

Shiori’s quest continues in the soaring Sunday Times bestselling sequel to the New York Times bestselling young adult fantasy Six Crimson Cranes. And a cursed pearl with the power to mend the world, or break it. ‘A dazzling fairytale’ Stephanie Garber, on Six Crimson CranesA dragon’s kingdom.
