*spoilers*
Join in the poppy war,  a book in which an orphan who is taken advantage of catch’s a break (hard study) and is able to attend army school. Here she learns how to take more abuse and eventually unlocks her own power by selling herself to a god and getting hooked on drugs. Follow this outcast in story in which you are asked to cheer for the hero who commits genocide at the end.
