That she got into Sinegard-the most elite military school in Nikan-was even more surprising. But surprises aren't always good. Because being a dark-skinned peasant girl from the south is not an easy thing at Sinegard. Targeted from the outset by rival classmates for her color, poverty, and gender, Rin discovers she possesses a lethal, unearthly power-an aptitude for the nearly-mythical art of shamanism. Exploring the depths of her gift with the help of a seemingly insane teacher and psychoactive substances, Rin learns that gods long thought dead are very much alive-and that mastering control over those powers could mean more than just surviving school. For while the Nikara Empire is at peace, the Federation of Mugen still lurks across a narrow sea. The militarily advanced Federation occupied Nikan for decades after the First Poppy War, and only barely lost the continent in the Second. And while most of the people are complacent to go about their lives, a few are aware that a Third Poppy War is just a spark away . . .Rin's shamanic powers may be the only way to save her people. But as she finds out more about the god that has chosen her, the vengeful Phoenix, she fears that winning the war may cost her humanity . . . and that it may already be too late. 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 $a Imaginary wars and battles $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Military education $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Shamans $v Fiction. 700 1 $a Zeller, Emily Woo, $e narrator. 710 2 $a hoopla digital. 856 40 $u https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/12048147 $z Instantly available on hoopla. 856 42 $z Cover image $u https://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/hpc_9780062848789_180.jpeg 941 $a 1 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20190802010405.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=316F8A3AA78F11E99DEDB91B97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
