Each year, eight beautiful girls are chosen as Paper Girls to serve the king. It's the highest honor they could hope for…and the most demeaning. This year, there's a ninth. And instead of paper, she's made of fire.

In this richly developed fantasy, Lei is a member of the Paper caste, the lowest and most persecuted class of people in Ikhara. She lives in a remote village with her father, where the decade-old trauma of watching her mother snatched by royal guards for an unknown fate still haunts her. Now, the guards are back and this time it's Lei they're after — the girl with the golden eyes whose rumored beauty has piqued the king's interest.


Over weeks of training in the opulent but oppressive palace, Lei and eight other girls learns the skills and charm that befit a king's consort. There, she does the unthinkable — she falls in love. Her forbidden romance becomes enmeshed with an explosive plot that threatens her world's entire way…

Quotes

  • Aminahas quoted3 years ago
    “But I don’t want an easy life. I want a meaningful one.”
  • Tabihas quoted4 years ago
    “Besides, are you sure you aren’t part demon? I guess you haven’t had time to look in a mirror, what with all the assassinating and mortal danger and whatnot, but whatever those fools at the palace put on your eyes earlier has smudged.” He flaps an arm. “You’re looking a little… panda-form.”
  • Tabihas quoted4 years ago
    “I think you’re forgetting we’re an elite pack of warriors,” Merrin replies. “Hunting won’t be a problem.”

    “I’m not a warrior,” I say.

    “Sweet girl,” he replies, head swiveling in my direction, “you killed the King. You’re the most warrior of us all.”
