About this ebook

Three brand new short stories by Hugo, Nebula & World Fantasy Award nominated author N.K. Jemisin, set in the world of the Inheritance trilogy.

From the shadows of the greater stories, away from the bright light of Sky and wending 'round the sagas of the Arameri, come three quieter tales. A newborn god with an old, old soul struggles to find a reason to live. A powerful demon searches for her father, and answers. And in a prequel to the Inheritance Trilogy, a newly-enslaved Nahadoth forges a dark alliance with a mortal, for survival. . . and revenge.

Return to the world of The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms in these three interconnected short tales.

Ratings and reviews

This novella is short, but I love the glimpses into the lives of Nahadoth, Ahad (who I like now more than I did before) and Glee from the Inheritance Trilogy. Jemisin is the bomb.

Im looking forward to reading this
