ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang follows the journey of Fang Runin (Rin), a determined war orphan from a rural village, as she defies expectations by excelling in the rigorous national exam, the Keju. Her success grants her entry into the elite Sinegard Academy, where she faces prejudice and grueling training in both martial arts and academic subjects. As Rin navigates the challenges of the Academy, the looming threat of war with the Federation intensifies. She also becomes entangled in the mysterious and powerful realm of shamanism through the unconventional teachings of Master Jiang, hinting at a hidden power within her and the world. The narrative explores themes of ambition, social mobility, the brutal realities of war, and the dangerous allure of unconventional power and personal transformation in a world on the brink of conflict.
