The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang
Rin, a young girl, aces the empire-wide test to find the most talented youth to attend the academies. But she is a dark-skinned peasant from the south and does not find it easy at Sinegard, the most elite military school in Nikan. Rin discovers that gods long thought dead are very much alive, and that she possesses a lethal, unearthly power.
