Yesterday, Orbit Books announced Shades in Shadow a collection of three short stories from N.K. Jemisin. Each of the three stories in the collection is set in the same world as Jemisin’s Hugo Award-nominated 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.
The fantasy world can never have too many stories from Jemisin, who’s one of the brightest and most talented writers in the genre, and returning to the world of the Inheritance trilogy is just icing on the cake. Can’t wait to get my hands on this.
Ooooh this looks exciting!
Want want want! Anything be Jemisin is gold, so far as I’m concerned, and I adore that series, so I definitely need to get my hands on this when I can!
I love seeing Orbit support Jemison’s World through publishing stories therein! Smart and a treat.
N.K. Jemisin is one of my favorite American writers. Her The Inheritance Trilogy is a must read for those who love to read speculative fiction. That’s great news. Eagerly waiting to lay hands on Shades in Shadow. Really the world of fantasy and fiction can never have enough of this great author.
