The Dragon Republic

About The Dragon Republic

For readers who loved The Poppy War's devastating portrait of a girl shaped by war and want to see the costs escalate to a global scale. Rin now leads a crew of survivors trying to topple an empire — but the line between liberation and atrocity blurs with every battle. R.F. Kuang draws on the Second Sino-Japanese War and the Communist Revolution to build a world where every side is compromised. Politically sophisticated, brutally honest about the price of power, and essential for readers who want fantasy that takes history seriously.
