# The Poppy War Rooted in the turbulent twentieth-century history of China, this sweeping military fantasy weaves together shamanism, divine retribution, and the devastating cost of warfare. Rin's triumph in the Keju examination—a national competition to identify exceptional students—astonishes everyone around her: the administrators skeptical of a war orphan's success, her guardians who'd planned to exploit her through marriage, and Rin herself, suddenly liberated from years of hardship. Her acceptance to Sinegard, the nation's premier military academy, compounds this unexpected fortune. Yet destiny proves far more complex than escape. As a dark-skinned girl of humble origins, Rin faces relentless prejudice within Sinegard's halls. Her classmates exploit her appearance, background, and gender at every turn. Through this crucible, she awakens to an extraordinary ability: a rare gift for shamanism that grants her communion with supposedly extinct deities. Under a cryptic mentor's guidance and aided by hallucinogenic practice, Rin uncovers a startling truth—ancient gods persist and hunger for connection. The stakes transcend academy survival. Though the Nikara Empire appears secure, the Federation of Mugen waits beyond the sea, hungry for reconquest. Three devastating wars have already scarred the land. As conflict looms inevitable, Rin's shamanic connection to the vengeful Phoenix may prove Nikan's salvation—or the price of victory might demand something far more precious than her life itself.
