Макова війна

Best Debut Fantasy Novel by "Reddit Fantasy Award"
Compton Crook Award and Crawford Award winner.
Finalist of the Locus Award and Nebula Award.

A war orphan from a remote province did the impossible - she passed the all-imperial Keju exam for admission to the military academy with flying colors. This came as a surprise to everyone: the examiners, who could not believe that the poor village girl was capable of such a thing; the girl's guardians, who planned to marry her off and expand the illegal opium trade; and for Jin herself, who finally felt free. Trying to confront powerful enemies and grasping at any opportunity to stay at the Sinegard Military Academy, Jin discovers a penchant for shamanism and a connection to the god of fire. This power is too much even to succeed in the Academy, but will it not be enough on the battlefield during the war? And what payment does the vengeful Phoenix god want from her?

Rebecca Kwan creates a majestic fantasy world populated by martial arts masters, philosopher-generals and gods, reinterpreting Asian history in a new way.
