Lei is now known as the Moonchosen, the commoner who managed to slay the Demon King. In order to gain the support of the rebel clans in their attempt to overthrow the monarchy, Lei and Wren must make a treacherous journey that's further complicated by the large bounty on Lei's head. Meanwhile, a plot to bring down the rebel uprising is taking shape, fueled by dark magic and a quest for revenge.

Captured in the Demon King's Hidden Palace, Lei is determined to bring him down from the inside. Meanwhile, Wren is desperate to rescue Lei, but is caught up in the bloody battle against the monarchy, seeing the horrors of war firsthand and questioning whether her sacrifice will be worth it.

Told from their alternating viewpoints, as battle lines are drawn between the powerful Hanno clan and the Demon King of Ikhara, the warrior Wren fights to find Lei, who is trying to assist the rebellion even though she is the King's prisoner.

When Lei, seventeen, is stolen from her home to become one of nine Paper Girls, the Demon King's concubines, she proves to be more fire than paper.

"Lei is the Moonchosen, the commoner who managed to do what no one else could. But confronting the cruel Demon King wasn't the end of her story--it was just the beginning. Now Lei and her warrior-love, Wren, must prepare for a revolution. Their journey is made even more treacherous by the heavy bounty on Lei's head, as well as insidious doubts and trauma that threaten to tear Lei and Wren apart from within. Meanwhile, a vengeful plot to eliminate the rebels is gaining strength, powered by dark magic. Will Lei succeed in her quest to overthrow the Demon King and protect her love for Wren, or will she fall victim to the sinister magic that seeks to destroy her?"--Dust jacket flap.
