Via the official Orbit Books blog, we are now privy to the gorgeous cover art and a synopsis for N.K. Jemisin’s upcoming sequel novella to her popular Inheritance<\/em> trilogy. The Awakened Kingdom<\/em> tells the tale of the first godling born to the world of the Hundred Thousand Kingdoms in thousands of years, and “Shill’s got big shoes to fill.”<\/p>\n

\nAs the first new godling born in thousands of years \u2014 and the heir presumptive to Sieh the Trickster \u2014 Shill\u2019s got big shoes to fill. She\u2019s well on her way when she defies her parents and sneaks off to the mortal realm, which is no place for an impressionable young god. In short order she steals a demon\u2019s grandchild, gets herself embroiled in a secret underground magical dance competition, and offends her oldest and most powerful sibling.But for Eino, the young Darren man whom Shill has befriended, the god-child\u2019s silly games are serious business. Trapped in an arranged marriage and prohibited from pursuing his dreams, he has had enough. He will choose his own fate, even if he must betray a friend in the process \u2014 and Shill might just have to grow up faster than she thinks.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If Jemisin’s other work is anything to go by (and it is!), readers have a lot to look forward to when The Awakened Kingdom<\/em> releases later this year.<\/p>\n

The Awakened Kingdom<\/em> is a novella that takes place after the conclusion of The Kingdom of Gods<\/em>, the concluding volume of Jemisin’s Inheritance<\/em> trilogy. It will be included in all print and eBook editions of the Inheritance<\/em> trilogy omnibus that is set for release on December 9th, 2014.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
