A powerful tale of magic, love and revenge set in fairy-tale Japan; this is
Cinderella meets Memoirs of a Geisha.
.
Trained in the magical art of shadow-weaving, sixteen-year-old Suzume is able
to recreate herself in any form – a fabulous gift for a girl desperate to
escape her past.
But who is she really? Is she a girl of noble birth living under the tyranny
of her mother’s new husband, Lord Terayama, or a lowly drudge scraping a living
in the ashes of Terayama’s kitchens, or Yue, the most beautiful courtesan in
the Moonlit Lands? Whatever her true identity, Suzume is destined to capture
the heart of a prince – and determined to use his power to destroy Terayama.
And nothing will stop her, not even love.
