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 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, Takkan. It will take every ounce of strength Shiori can muster to defend the life and the love she’s fought so hard to win.

Six Crimson Cranes by Elizabeth Lim is out today! It’s a delightful little tale set in fantasy East Asia, complete with sassy dragons, snaky witches, and secrets identities, and I do recommend, esp if you’re also a fan of Spin the Dawn bc it ties in very nicely
Hey, hi, still excavating backlog papercrafts!
Next is my second Spin the Dawn papercraft, but this time featuring the leads from Elizabeth Lim’s marvelous duology and commissioned by Fairyloot to use on a booksleeve in their July 2021 box! ✨
This was my first papercraft completed in 2021, just nestled between Western and Eastern New Year and I was really feeling the festivities with this design and palette. I particularly had fun with Edan’s partially finished transformation as he lands next to Maia, in the middle of sewing her latest creation. ⭐
I really love doing geometrical pieces like this! (Similar to the Sorcery of Thorns papercraft, way back when!). Yet after spending so much time designing a symmetrical pattern, I’ll then completely ignore it and haphazardly throw around stars to accent - yet still attempt a sense of balance. I feel that subtle imperfection is more eye catching, as your subconscious is trying to figure out what and why the rules are broken.

“A tailor’s worth is not measured by his fame, but by the happiness he brings. You will hold the seams of our family together, Maia. No other tailor in the world can do that.”
