Other text

A lush young adult fantasy novel based on the imperial dynasties of China and Japan. 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.

Back Cover Copy

'Ngan's story is rich, is beautiful, is devastating and magical, and one of the best novels that I've picked up so far'Hypable 'A compelling narrative of personal rebellion, and a timely reminder that, in the right hands, the fantasy genre has things to say about injustice and abuse of power in the real world' GuardianNatasha Ngan is part young-adult author, part yoga-teacher, part habitual nap-taker. She grew up between Malaysia and the UK, speaking Chinese with her mother mainly as a way to talk about people without them understanding. She studied Geography at the University of Cambridge and later worked as a fashion blogger, social media consultant and freelance writer. Natasha recently moved to Paris, where she likes to imagine she drifts stylishly from brasserie to brasserie, notepad in one hand and wineglass in the other. In reality, she mostly spends her time lost on the metro and offending locals with her French. Twitter: @girlinthelensFacebook: /girlinthelensWebsite: girlinthelens.comInstagram: girlinthelens
