Seven is a thief with a difference – he steals downloadable memories to sell onto London’s black market, trading secrets and hidden pasts for a chance at a future of his own. No one can take your memories from you… can they? Presented by James Patterson, Natasha Ngan’s lyrical, searing, visceral fantasy, Girls of Paper and Fire, will remind us how precious freedom is–and the price we must pay to achieve it. Her forbidden romance becomes enmeshed with an explosive plot that threatens the very foundation of Ikhara, and Lei, still the wide-eyed country girl at heart, must decide just how far she’s willing to go for justice and revenge.
Instead, she does the unthinkable–she falls in love. But Lei isn’t content to watch her fate consume her. Over weeks of training in the opulent but stifling palace, Lei and eight other girls learn the skills and charm that befit being a king’s consort. Now, the guards are back, and this time it’s Lei they’re after–the girl whose golden eyes have piqued the king’s interest. She lives in a remote village with her father, where the decade-old trauma of watching her mother snatched by royal guards still haunts her. In this lush fantasy, Lei is a member of the Paper caste, the lowest and most oppressed class in Ikhara. And instead of paper, she’s made of fire. It’s the highest honor they could hope for…and the most cruel.īut this year, there’s a ninth girl.
