This is an automatically translated description

A war orphan from a remote province did the impossible - she passed the imperial Keiju exam for admission to the military academy with flying colours. This came as a surprise to everyone: the examiners, who could not believe that a poor peasant girl was capable of such a feat; the girl's guardians, who planned to marry her off and expand the illegal opium trade; and Zhin herself, who finally felt free. While trying to resist powerful enemies and grasping at any opportunity to stay at the Sinegard Military Academy, Zhin discovers a penchant for shamanism and a connection to the god of fire. This power is even too much for success at the Academy, but will it be too little on the battlefield during the war? And what kind of payment will the vengeful god Phoenix demand from her?

Rebecca Kwan creates a majestic fantasy world inhabited by martial artists, philosopher-generals, and gods, reimagining Asian history in a new way.
