The Broken Kingdoms: Book 2 of the Inheritance Trilogy
Author(s): N. K. Jemisin
The debut series from the double Hugo Award-winning N. K. Jemisin, author of The Fifth Season
'Lush and evocative' Naomi Novik, author of Uprooted
In the city of Shadow, beneath the World Tree, alleyways shimmer with magic and godlings live hidden among mortalkind. Oree Shoth, a blind artist, takes in a homeless man who glows like a living sun to her strange sight.
However, this act of kindness is to engulf Oree in a nightmarish conspiracy. Someone, somehow, is murdering godlings, leaving their desecrated bodies all over the city. 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?
The Inheritance Trilogy begins with The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, continues in The Broken Kingdoms and concludes in The Kingdom of Gods.
Product Information
'The very best kind of sequel: as lush and evocative and true as the first, with all the same sense of mystery, giving us the world and characters we already love, and yet with a new story and a wonderfully new perspective on the whole dazzling world and pantheon the author has built' Naomi Novik 'This is a book that readers won't be able to put down ... A magnificent novel and one of the best books this reviewer has read this year' ROMANTIC TIMES
