SINOSSI
Memoirs of a Geisha meets The Selection in this stunning YA fantasy
novel. Perfect for fans of Renee Ahdieh, Laini Taylor and Sabaa Tahir.
Each year, eight beautiful girls are chosen as Paper Girls to serve the
king. It's the highest honour they could hope for...and the most
demeaning. This year, there's a ninth. And instead of paper, she's made
of fire. Lei is a member of the Paper caste, the lowest and most
persecuted class of people in Ikhara. Ten years ago, her mother was
snatched by the royal guards, and her fate remains unknown. Now, the
guards are back and this time it's Lei they're after - the girl with the
golden eyes, whose rumoured beauty has piqued the king's interest. Over
weeks of training in the opulent but oppressive palace, Lei and eight
other girls learn the skills and charm that befit a king's consort.
There, Lei does the unthinkable - she falls in love. Her forbidden
romance becomes enmeshed with an explosive plot that threatens her
world's entire way of life. Lei, still the wide-eyed country girl at
heart, must decide how far she's willing to go for justice and revenge.
