The Inheritance Trilogy begins with The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, continues in The Broken Kingdoms and concludes in The Kingdom of Gods.

Oree's peculiar guest is at the heart of it, his presence putting her in mortal danger - but is it him the killers want, or Oree? And is the earthly power of the Arameri king their ultimate goal, or have they set their sights on the Lord of Night himself? Summary: An interesting follow-up to the superb Hundred Thousand Kingdoms sees a mixture of familiar and new characters and the same beautiful writing style. Someone, somehow, is murdering godlings, leaving their desecrated bodies all over the city. Jemisin is a Brooklyn author who won the Hugo Award for Best Novel for The Fifth Season, which was also a New York Times Notable Book of 2015.

However, this act of kindness is to engulf Oree in a nightmarish conspiracy. New authors often falter when following up on a noteworthy debut, but Jemisin proves more than up to the challenge. The saga of mortals and immortals continues. Oree Shoth, a blind artist, takes in a homeless man who glows like a living sun to her strange sight. The gods have broken free after centuries of slavery, and the world holds its breath, fearing their vengeance. In the city of Shadow, beneath the World Tree, alleyways shimmer with magic and godlings live hidden among mortalkind. 'Lush and evocative' Naomi Novik, author of Uprooted The debut series from the double Hugo Award-winning N. Print The Broken Kingdoms (#2 The Inheritance Trilogy)
