Girls of paper and fire / Natasha Ngan ; foreword by James Patterson.
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. Lei is of the Paper caste, the lowest class in Ikhara. Even so, rumors of her golden eyes have piqued the King's interest, and so she is ripped from her home and taken to the opulent palace, a gilded prison, her life now beholden to the Demon King's every whim. But as Lei dreams of escape, she does the unthinkable: she falls in love. Her forbidden romance, enmeshed with an explosive plot that threatens the King's very reign, will force Lei to decide just how far she's willing to go to fight for her freedom. Lush, poetic, and utterly unforgettable, Girls of Paper and Fire is an extraordinary tale, reminding us that pure love and passion can transcend even the bleakest of fates. -- Provided by publisher.
