Overview
The Poppy War trilogy is R.F. Kuang's award-nominated, blood-soaked epic of empire, addiction, and vengeance, inspired by the brutal history of 20th-century China. This complete paperback boxset gathers The Poppy War, The Dragon Republic, and The Burning God into one collection, following war orphan Rin from shamanic soldier to reluctant revolutionary. Dense with military strategy, mythic gods, and moral collapse, it's essential reading for grimdark and historical fantasy fans, and a striking addition to any collector's shelf.
About the Books
The Poppy War introduces Rin, an orphan who tests into Nikan's most prestigious military academy and uncovers a terrifying shamanic gift just as war breaks out with the Federation of Mugen. She must decide whether to embrace the vengeful Phoenix god who has chosen her, and what that power will cost her humanity. In The Dragon Republic, Rin is left scarred by the atrocity she committed to end the war, battling addiction, grief, and the Phoenix's relentless demands. Allying with the Dragon Warlord against a treacherous Empress, she is pulled deeper into political betrayal and the corrosive machinery of warfare. The trilogy concludes with The Burning God, in which Rin commands the loyalty of millions while the Phoenix urges her toward total annihilation. Having repelled foreign invaders and survived a brutal civil war, Rin must confront whether true power comes from gods, armies, or the people she claims to fight for. Together the novels form one unflinching narrative charting a rise from victimhood to warlord, weaving shamanism, opium, and geopolitics inspired by real 20th-century history into a densely researched saga that readers of morally grey, high-stakes fantasy will find unforgettable.
