The long-awaited continuation of the Poppy War!

Nikan had to fight for survival three times in the course of history in the bloody poppy wars. Even though the third campaign has only recently ended, Zsin cannot forget the cruelty he committed in order to save his people. He escapes guilt, a distressing opium addiction, and the orders of the vengeful phoenix known as the god of fire, who has endowed him with terrifying power.

Although Zsin does not want to live, he is not willing to die until he takes revenge on the treacherous empress, who turned her back on her country and entered into an alliance with the enemy. Her only hope is to join the powerful Dragon Warlord's army. The warlord prepares to conquer Nikan, dethrone the empress, and establish a new republic.

But neither the Empress nor the Dragon Warlord are who they seem. The more things Zsin witnesses, the more he fears that his love for his country will once again force him to live with the killing power of the phoenix. Because there is nothing that Zsin would not sacrifice to save his country... and for revenge.
