• The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms

• The Inheritance Trilogy, Book 1
• By: N. K. Jemisin
• Narrated by: Casaundra Freeman

Yeine Darr is an outcast from the savage north. But when her mother dies under mysterious circumstances, she is summoned to the majestic Sky City – a palace in the clouds where the lives of gods and humans intertwine.

There, to her amazement, Yeine was named one of the king’s potential heirs. But the throne of the Hundred Thousand Kingdoms is not easily won, and Yeine is thrust into a fierce power struggle with a pair of cousins she didn’t know she had. As she fights for her life, she gets closer and closer to the secrets of her mother’s death and her family’s bloody history.

But it’s not just humans who have secrets worth hiding, and Yeine will learn how dangerous the world can be when love and hatred – gods and humans – are inseparable.

The Heirs trilogy begins with The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, continues in The Broken Kingdoms, and ends in The Kingdom of Gods.

A brilliant variation of the gods story. Jemisin has the right touch. On towards the next book.
