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
of
life.
Lei,
still
the
wide-eyed
country
girl
at
heart,
must
decide
how
far
she's
willing
to
go
for
justice
and
revenge.
