The Poppy War is a 2018 novel by R. F. Kuang, published by Harper Voyager. The Poppy War, a grimdark fantasy, draws its plot and politics from mid-20th-century China,[1][2][3] with the conflict in the novel based on the Second Sino-Japanese War, and an atmosphere inspired by the Song dynasty.[4]
A sequel, The Dragon Republic, was released in August 2019, and a third book, The Burning God was released November 2020.[5]
Harper Voyager's editorial director David Pomerico acquired the novel after a heated auction on Kuang's 20th birthday.[1][6]
