Shahar and the godling Sieh must face off against the terrible magic threatening to consume their world in the incredible conclusion to the Inheritance Trilogy, from Hugo award-winning and NYT bestselling author N. K. Jemisin.

For two thousand years the Arameri family has ruled the world by enslaving the very gods that created mortalkind. Now the gods are free, and the Arameri's ruthless grip is slipping. Yet they are all that stands between peace and world-spanning, unending war.

Shahar, last scion of the family, must choose her loyalties. She yearns to trust Sieh, the godling she loves. Yet her duty as Arameri heir is to uphold the family's interests, even if that means using and destroying everyone she cares for.

As long-suppressed rage and terrible new magics consume the world, the Maelstrom -- which even gods fear -- is summoned forth. Shahar and Sieh: mortal and god, lovers and enemies. Can they stand together against the chaos that threatens?

Includes a never before seen story set in the world of the Inheritance Trilogy.

A satisfying conclusion.

Intriguing and involved Interesting and a story I found captivating, I really wanted to know what was going to happen with Shahar, Sieh and Dekarta and what their friendship would do with the world. They were three interesting people and what happened to Sieh was intriguing, his having to deal with issues he never had to before, particularly friendship and love.
Good end to the series, look forward to reading more by N.K. Jemisin.
This one is going to be used for the Diverse Voices square, though it could have also been used for supernatural and Demons and probably Chilling Children
