The exciting end to the Poppy War trilogy, R. F. Kuangs
acclaimed, award-winning epic fantasy that combines the history of
twentieth-century China with a gripping world of gods and monsters, to
devastating, enthralling effect.

After saving her nation of Nikan from foreign invaders and
battling the evil Empress Su Daji in a brutal civil war, Fang Runin was
betrayed by allies and left for dead.
Despite her losses, Rin hasnt given up on those for whom
she has sacrificed so muchthe people of the southern provinces and especially
Tikany, the village that is her home. Returning to her roots, Rin meets
difficult challengesand unexpected opportunities. While her new allies in the
Southern Coalition leadership are sly and untrustworthy, Rin quickly realizes
that the real power in Nikan lies with the millions of common people who thirst
for vengeance and revere her as a goddess of salvation.

Backed by the masses and her Southern Army, Rin will use
every weapon to defeat the Dragon Republic, the colonizing Hesperians, and all
who threaten the shamanic arts and their practitioners. As her power and
influence grows, though, will she be strong enough to resist the Phoenixs
intoxicating voice urging her to burn the world and everything in it?
