The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms

by N.K. Jemisin

Book 1 in Inheritance Trilogy

Jemisin's debut. Chained gods, a court built on genocide, and a heroine who walks into the political mess that killed her mother. Lyrical, brutal, and the romance with the Nightlord is the kind that ruins you for everything else.
