The Dragon Republic

Author: R.F. Kuang

Rin’s world is shattered. Haunted by the atrocities she committed to save her people, she grapples with addiction and the weight of her actions. As civil war erupts, Rin finds herself caught between loyalty and survival. Kuang’s visceral prose plunges readers into a brutal, richly-imagined fantasy realm inspired by Chinese history. With complex characters and heart-wrenching choices, this sequel left me breathless. A masterful exploration of power, trauma, and the cost of victory.

The world is not kind to little things.
