About the product

Now a global sensation, R.F. Kuang's debut series The Poppy War explores the history of China with a gripping world of gods and monsters.

We’re overjoyed that we could revisit this iconic fantasy series and include it as one of our Illumicrate tenth anniversary sets. A fascinating grimdark trilogy influenced by twentieth-century Chinese history, we’re sure it will end up a classic of the genre.

  • Exclusive slipcases (art by @kerbyrosanes)
  • Art and foil on the hardbacks (art by @tommyarnoldart; design by @chattynora)
  • Digitally printed fore-edges (by @ kerbyrosanes); block-sprayed top & bottom edge
  • Illustrated endpapers (by @ladyeruart); different front and back
  • Annotated content
  • Book one (The Poppy War) hand signed by the author

    Absolutely Stunning

    These are absolutely stunning in person and the detail is incredible! Love that each book has its own slipcase!

    They match the IC Katabasis and IC Bable on the shelf too! I love my RF Kuang shelf

    Brilliant

    These look amazing in person, the slip case art and edges are the best part of this design imo.

    Some of mine came damaged and illumicrate was quick to sort it out by sending replacements thank you.
