Fishbone Cinderella by Elizabeth Lim

A gorgeous, spellbinding East-Asian inspired fantasy novel about a family curse across generations from the bestselling author of Six Crimson Cranes. Perfect for fans of Axie Oh, Sue Lynn Tan, and Samantha Shannon!

A bracelet. A curse. And golden fishbones to be returned to the sea. . .

Guangdong, 1940. When Ha Yut Ying narrowly escapes Japanese soldiers by turning invisible, she knows her new-found magic must be kept a secret. But her mother, whose dreams foretell the future, suspects her daughter has changed, and warns her of a curse upon their family. For her protection, she gives her a gold bracelet whose links are shaped like fishbones.​

After the war, Ha Yut Ying is sent to live with her father and his second wife, who have become wealthy factory owners in Hong Kong. Her stepmother, jealous of her beauty, forces her to work in the family's shoe factory.

But when Yut Ying collides with a boy on a bicycle on her way to work, she loses her bracelet. The boy is Tommy Yeung, scion of a local soymilk tycoon. And their encounter will change both of their destinies forever. . .
