When war orphan Ren aces the Keju (an Empire-wide test to find talented youth for the Academies) it comes as a shock to absolutely everyone. The fact that she was accepted into Sinegard (the most elite military in Nikan) was even more of a shock . . .
An epic historical military fantasy filled with treachery and magic, The Poppy War is a novel highly inspired by the bloody history of China’s twentieth century from the bestselling author of Babel and Yellowface.
"An ambitious fantasy reimagining of Asian history populated by martial artists, philosopher-generals, and gods.” -- Publishers Weekly
