Publisher's Synopsis
Third in The Toki-Girl and Sparrow-Boy Series for tweens through adults. Azuki and Shota are finally home! Life in their corner of rural 19th Century Japan is nearly perfect - but Azuki's sick and Shota doubts his friendship with the Dragon Princess, who is upset because her mother rejects her dual nature. Shota defies his uncle to track down the legendary Crane-girl to help Azuki and impress the Princess. This leads to the discovery of a new and better way to incorporate Azuki's spectacular feathers in fabrics. When Shota takes his beloved boat to deliver Azuki's work, he finds trouble - and not just among humans! Even the Dragon King and Princess Renko's European mother must join forces with Azuki and Shota to repel a sea-monster's challenge, but it's Uncle Yuta who crafts a lasting peace.
