The Poppy War Collector's Edition

Más información sobre el libro

When Rin aced the Keju, the Empire-wide test for talented youth, it shocked everyone: the officials who doubted a war orphan from Rooster Province could succeed without cheating, her guardians who saw her as a means to advance their criminal plans, and Rin herself, who realized she was free from a life of servitude. Gaining admission to Sinegard, the elite military school, was even more surprising. However, being a dark-skinned peasant girl there is fraught with challenges. Targeted by classmates for her background, Rin discovers her extraordinary aptitude for shamanism. With the help of a seemingly mad teacher and psychoactive substances, she learns that the gods thought dead are very much alive, and mastering her powers could mean more than just surviving school. While the Nikara Empire appears peaceful, the looming threat of the Federation of Mugen, which had occupied Nikan for decades, casts a shadow. Most people remain oblivious, but a few sense that a Third Poppy War is imminent. Rin’s shamanic abilities might be crucial to saving her people, but as she uncovers the truth about the vengeful Phoenix god that has chosen her, she fears that winning the war could cost her humanity—and that it may already be too late.
