Get ready for R.F. Kuang to destroy you emotionally! The Burning God is the third and final installment of the Poppy War trilogy--the acclaimed, award-winning epic fantasy that combines the history of twentieth-century China with a gripping world of gods and monsters, to devastating and enthralling effect.

After saving her nation of Nikan from foreign invaders and battling the evil Empress Su Daji in a brutal civil war, Fang Runin was betrayed by allies and left for dead.

Despite her losses, Rin holds out hope for the people of the southern provinces and especially the village of Tikany, her home. Returning to her roots, Rin meets difficult challenges—and unexpected opportunities. Rin quickly realizes that the real power in Nikan lies with the millions of common people who thirst for vengeance and revere her as a goddess of salvation.

Rin will use every weapon to defeat the Dragon Republic, the colonizing Hesperians, and all who threaten the shamanic arts and their practitioners. Her power and influence grow--will she be strong enough to resist the intoxicating voice urging her to burn the world and everything in it?

R.F. Kuang studies modern Chinese history. She has a BA from Georgetown University and is currently a graduate student in the United Kingdom on a Marshall Scholarship.
