When Rin aced the
Keju—the Empire-wide test to find the most talented youth to learn at
the Academies—it was a shock to everyone: to the test officials, who
couldn’t believe a war orphan from Rooster Province could pass without
cheating; to Rin’s guardians, who believed they’d finally be able to
marry her off and further their criminal enterprise; and to Rin herself,
who realized she was finally free of the servitude and despair that had
made up her daily existence. That she got into Sinegard—the most elite
military school in Nikan—was even more surprising.
But surprises aren’t always good.
Because
being a dark-skinned peasant girl from the south is not an easy thing
at Sinegard. Targeted from the outset by rival classmates for her color,
poverty, and gender, Rin discovers she possesses a lethal, unearthly
power—an aptitude for the nearly-mythical art of shamanism. Exploring
the depths of her gift with the help of a seemingly insane teacher and
psychoactive substances, Rin learns that gods long thought dead are very
much alive—and that mastering control over those powers could mean more
than just surviving school.
For while the Nikara Empire is at
peace, the Federation of Mugen still lurks across a narrow sea. The
militarily advanced Federation occupied Nikan for decades after the
First Poppy War, and only barely lost the continent in the Second. And
while most of the people are complacent to go about their lives, a few
are aware that a Third Poppy War is just a spark away . . .
Rin’s
shamanic powers may be the only way to save her people. But as she
finds out more about the god that has chosen her, the vengeful Phoenix,
she fears that winning the war may cost her humanity . . . and that it
may already be too late.
