The Dragon Republic by R.F. Kuang – Book 2 of The Poppy War Trilogy

Book Description:

What happens when a war orphan's gift for violence becomes the key to saving—or destroying—an empire?

The thrilling second installment in the critically acclaimed fantasy series, The Dragon Republic is an epic historical fantasy inspired by 20th-century Chinese history, weaving together shamanism, warfare, and the brutal cost of power.

In the aftermath of the Third Poppy War, Rin is haunted by the atrocities she committed to save her people and controlled by the addictive, vengeful power of the Phoenix. Desperate to execute revenge against the traitorous Empress who betrayed Nikan, Rin aligns herself with the powerful Warlord of the Dragon Province. As they launch a rebellion to overthrow the Empire and establish a new republic, Rin finds herself fighting on new battlefields against foreign invaders and ruthless politicians alike—only to realize that she is being used as a pawn in a game far larger and more dangerous than she ever imagined.
