We would entertain a refund, only on the below condition/conditions are full-filled: With the future of Yan at stake, can Hesina find justice for her father? Or will the cost be too high? Using the information provided by the sooth, and uncertain if she can trust her family, Hesina turns to Akira-a brilliant investigator who’s also a convicted criminal with secrets of his own. Determined to find her father’s actual killer, Hesina does something desperate: she enlists the aid of a soothsayer-a treasonous act, punishable byĭeath, since magic was outlawed centuries ago. Her advisers would like her to blame the neighboring kingdom of Kendi’a, whose ruler has been mustering for war. Hesina’s court is packed full of dissemblers and deceivers eager to use the king’s death for political gain, each as plausibly guilty as the next. What’s more, Hesina believes that her father was murdered-and that the killer is someone close to her.
But when her beloved father is found dead, she’s thrust into power, suddenly the queen of a surprisingly unstable kingdom. On a final note, He states, “My hope is that this cover resonates with readers, especially Asian Americans like myself who have, at some point in their lives, faced the same decision as Hesina: to take the path of least resistance, just like the water on which she stands, or forge her own.Princess Hesina of Yan has always been eager to shirk the responsibilities of the crown, dreaming of an unremarkable life. It’s about choosing yourself, even when those who love you think they know best.” It’s about how things that are inherently good, such as the crane and lotus flowers, become oppressive in a different context. His legacy looms long after his death, because Descendant of the Crane, for all its political machinations and twists, is a tale centered on family and truth. Her father, meanwhile, is represented as a crane, a symbol for longevity. In this composition, they tower around Hesina almost menacingly, representing the struggle she faces to do right by her heart as she ventures deeper into her father’s past. Lotus flowers must first grow out of the mud before they can bloom they symbolize perfection and purity of heart. “But Chinese culture is rich in symbolism, and the meanings behind these objects are just as important, if not more.
The majestic crane crowned in red is eye-catching, and the lotus flowers are beautiful. On the surface, the cover draws the reader in with saturated colors and motifs reminiscent of art nouveau.
“Above all, Feifei really understood the themes of the book.
