Synopsis
A collection of three interconnected tales set in the world of The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, exploring perspectives beyond the main trilogy: a newborn deity struggling with existence, a demon seeking her father, and a prequel depicting Nahadoth forming an alliance with a mortal.
Where it sits
- Universe: The Inheritance Trilogy
- Series: not part of a registered series (standalone work within its universe)
- Author: N.K. Jemisin
Notes
- 3-story collection ('The Wild Boy,' 'The God Without a Name,' 'The Third Why'), explicitly interstitial, the rating platform numbers the stories #0.5/1.5/2.5, filling gaps within the trilogy's timeline rather than extending it forward.
Neighbouring works
Publication order and internal chronology are tracked as two separate orderings and are never conflated: a book's place in one says nothing about its place in the other.
- Publication order, within The Inheritance Trilogy (standalone work): position 5 of 5: previous The Awakened Kingdom (2014)
