All godlings have a true nature, and Shill is eager to discover hers. In the title novella we meet Shill, offspring of Yeine, Nahadoth, and ‘Papa Tempa’. The Awakened KingdomĮncompassing a fresh-born godling’s origin story and three tales showing us Jemisin’s more familiar characters in their adventures beyond her novels’ pages, The Awakened Kingdom and Other Stories gives readers of The Inheritance Trilogy what we all long for: a return to its deep, wild magic. With unhesitating skill and deep empathy the author depicts a life turning from dream to reality, from mockery to maturity, from making wishes to making truth. Jemisin’s Inheritance Trilogy, death, lust, betrayal, and mercy collide. In The Kingdom of Gods, the glorious conclusion to N.K. When a strange accident strips Sieh of his powers these two royal scions of the Arameri dynasty-the family who once enslaved Sieh and his father-must literally move heaven and earth to save him, while the implacable vengeance of a neglected deity threatens to shred all existence to rags. Sieh the Trickster, a billion-years-old child and first godling grandson of the fearsome, universe-spawning Maelstrom, plays too hard with a mortal brother and sister and falls in love. Jemisin continues to dazzle us with the treacherous machinations of a pantheon of rivals-the fascinating, maddeningly self-centered deities introduced in the first book of her genre-redefining Inheritance Trilogy. For the gods hold ancient grudges and commit horrific crimes, letting mortals suffer the consequences. When a derelict god shows up on a neighborhood muckheap Oree takes him under her wing, an act which entangles her in a cosmic feud thousands of years old. She paints landscapes by touch and scent, and uses a staff to navigate Shadow, the city built at the roots of the giant tree whose branches cradle the palace of the all-powerful Arameri dynasty. With the fate of the world hanging in the balance, Yeine will learn how perilous it can be when love and hate - and gods and mortals - are bound inseparably.

As she fights for her life, she draws ever closer to the secrets of her mother’s death and her family’s bloody history. But the throne of the Hundred Thousand Kingdoms is not easily won, and Yeine is thrust into a vicious power struggle with a pair of cousins she never knew she had.

There, to her shock, Yeine is named an heiress to the king. But when her mother dies under mysterious circumstances, she is summoned to the majestic city of Sky, seat of the ruling Arameri family. Yeine Darr is an outcast from the barbarian north.
