Yeine Darr is an outcast from the barbarian north. But when her mother dies
under mysterious circumstances, she is summoned to the majestic city of Sky -
a palace above the clouds where gods' and mortals' lives are intertwined.
There, to her shock, Yeine is named one of the potential heirs to the king.
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. 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 it's not just mortals who have secrets worth hiding and Yeine will learn
how perilous the world can be when love and hate - and gods and mortals - are
bound inseparably.

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