Series: Poppy War

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Babel and Yellowface comes an all-new, fully illustrated, hardcover Deluxe Collector's Edition of R. F. Kuang's The Dragon Republic, with a full-wrap illustrated jacket and black-and-white interior art by JungShan Chang throughout, plus embossed case, designed endpapers, and stenciled edges!

Considered one of Time Magazine's 100 Best Fantasy Books of All Time, the second book in the beloved Poppy War Trilogy continues Rin's epic struggle to defend her homeland at any cost.

The war is over.

The war has just begun.

Three times throughout its history, Nikan has fought for its survival in the bloody Poppy Wars. Though the third battle has ended, the war still rages for Rin. Haunted by the atrocity she committed to save her people, the shaman and warrior is on the run from her guilt, the opium addiction that holds her like a vise, and the murderous commands of the fiery Phoenix--the vengeful god who has blessed Rin with fearsome power.

While the young warrior welcomes death, she must remain alive until she avenges the traitorous Empress who betrayed her homeland. Rin's only hope is to join forces with the enemy of her enemy--the powerful Dragon Warlord, who plots to destroy the Empress.

But Rin soon learns that the Empress and the Dragon Warlord are not what they seem, leading her to contemplate the unthinkable: using the Phoenix's deadly power once more. Because there is nothing Rin won't sacrifice to save her country . . . and exact her vengeance.

Reviews for The Dragon Republic Deluxe Collector's Edition

""The story Kuang weaves around Rin and her battle-hardened comrades-in-arms in The Dragon Republic builds upon the reputation Kuang earned with her debut as one of contemporary fantasy's most promising writers."" -- Time ""Her story's refreshing, shocking, and there's some sort of invisible phoenix fire god controlling everything. Behold the horizons of fantasy expand."" -- Wired ""This stunning sequel to The Poppy War is an epic journey of vengeance, friendship, and power . . . Kuang has created a young woman torn by her connections to friends and family, searching for love and belonging, and given power beyond her imagining. Her story is unforgettable."" -- Library Journal (starred review) ""Kuang's descriptive storytelling reveals the grueling psychological and material cost of war on combatants and those they are supposed to protect. Fans of epic military fantasy will be eager for the next volume."" -- Booklist (starred review) ""Kuang brings brilliance to this invigorating and complex military fantasy sequel to The Poppy War."" -- Publishers Weekly
