Synopsis

'Full of magic, love triangles, political intrigue, betrayaI… I devoured this novel' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Readers LOVE The Girl with the Fierce Eyes Red Queen Divergent Your eyes decide your destiny Jantsia’s secret will kill her… In the Empire of Shariza, eye colour determines wealth, status and even access to magical powers. Jantsia's blue eyes mark her as Azure, the lowest of the four oculary castes. Destined for servitude. But no one – not even the boy who owns her heart – knows the truth. Jantsia is a dual-oc, a forbidden mix of two castes, condemned to death if discovered. To survive, she clings to one rule: stay invisible, stay alive. Or will the truth save them all? Yet whispers of rebellion are growing, and cracks are forming in the very foundations of their society. Could it be that the fiery untapped power burning inside Jantsia is a gift rather than a curse? But who to trust when different means death? – The Girl with the Fierce Eyes has some potential content warnings, including sexual grooming (past), sibling/infant death (past), racism and discrimination, threatened torture and death, and characters in peril.

Quotes

PRAISE FOR SOPHIA VAHDATI: ' is a beautifully written tale of coming of age in a society where your fate has already been decided. What really sets this book apart is how it manages to be both an excellent surface-level story and have a pertinent (and damning) message. Many books achieve one or the other, but it is a very delicate balance to achieve both.’ 'A gripping story of a girl’s fight to discover and unpeel the layers of her identity, in a world where her very existence is a crime. Vahdati expertly weaves this tale of duty and loyalty, asking the ever-pertinent questions about the true nature of power.' 'Brilliantly imagined and full of life, explores a world where eye colour defines status, but not spirit. A wonderful read.' 'An emotional story about belonging, rebellion, and identity contrasted by deception, secrets, and lies. I enjoyed getting to dive into the diverse and conflicting narratives of Jantsia, Daezen and Soba, seeing all the ways they were different and yet so similar. Each one gives a reflection of the complexities that come with family, friendship and love in the face of class, oppression, and self-rejection.’
