In the first book of the award-winning fantasy trilogy from the New York Times bestselling author of The Fifth Season, a young woman is summoned to the floating city of Sky after her mother's mysterious death to claim a royal inheritance she never knew existed.
Yeine Darr, an outcast from the barbarian north, is shocked to find herself named an heiress to the king upon arriving in the majestic city of Sky after her mother's passing under mysterious circumstances. However, the throne of the Hundred Thousand Kingdoms is not easily won, and Yeine finds herself thrust into a vicious power struggle with cousins she never knew she had.
As Yeine fights for her life, she draws ever closer to unraveling the secrets surrounding her mother's death and her family's bloody history. With the fate of the world hanging in the balance, Yeine will learn just how perilous it can be when love and hate, as well as gods and mortals, are inextricably bound together.
The young woman's journey takes her from the harsh northern lands to the dazzling heights of the floating city, where she must navigate the treacherous political landscape and confront the dark truths of her lineage. Yeine's struggle to claim her rightful place and uncover the truth about her mother's demise forms the core of this gripping fantasy tale, which explores the complex interplay between power, family, and the divine.
Through Yeine's eyes, readers are immersed in a richly imagined world where the lines between mortals and gods blur, and the consequences of their intertwined fates have the potential to reshape the very fabric of the universe. With masterful storytelling and a deep understanding of human nature, the author weaves a captivating narrative that will leave readers eager to discover the next chapter in this epic trilogy.
