It centers on the story of Oree Shoth, a blind woman who has a magical ability to paint gorgeous pictures and to see shimmering outlines of magic, gods, and godlings. The Broken Kingdom, the second tale, begins a decade after the events of The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms. I don't want to spoil the trilogy, so I will just briefly mention some of the major plot lines of the second and third books. In this succession dispute, the choices Yeine makes could have dramatic ramifications, and the fate of Sky and the realm itself are balanced on a razor's edge. But since Yeine harbors a secret, she soon finds herself thrust into a perilous, high-stakes game pitting the Arameri and their imprisoned gods against one another. To her utter shock and dismay, she finds herself declared a successor to the ruler of Amn and thrust into a dangerous succession dispute against two dangerous full-blooded Arameri. Yeine Darr, a northern "barbarian" outcast, finds herself called to the center of Amn, the beautiful and dangerous city of Sky. The first book, The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, begins two-thousand years after the Gods' War, in a world where the Arameri followers of Itempas reign supreme. In the process, Itempas killed Enefa and chained Nahadoth and a number of lesser gods to serve the Arameri, his devoted human followers.

They waged a war among each other more than two-thousand years before the story begins, one that devastated both humanity and many of the lesser gods. Overall, the trilogy is centered on the story of the Three, the elder gods: Bright Itempas, lord of light and order Nahadoth, the Nightlord and god of chaos and change and Enefa, the goddess of twilight and life. The trilogy needs to be read in order, starting with book one The Inheritance Games.The Inheritance Trilogy is composed of three novels: The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, The Broken Kingdoms, and Kingdom of the Gods. How far will they go to keep their fortune? The four boys had everything and now are determined to solve the mystery as to why Avery has taken their inheritance from them. The catch is that Avery has to move into Hawthorne House and live with Tobias’ disinherited family, including his grandson Grayson Hawthorne, the heir-apparent, and his three brothers. The books follow Avery Grambs - a teenager working hard for a better future, whose fortunes change in an instant when billionaire Tobias Hawthorne dies and leaves her his fortune.
