The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms (2010)

Yeine enters a ruling family's struggle in a world where divine history has become a justification for earthly control. The gods are present and constrained, yet that presence leaves humans with more difficult questions about loyalty, love and the stories power declares sacred. Choose it for theology tangled with family inheritance and desire, with an intimate first-person voice. The Inheritance trilogy starts here; sexual material and coercion are substantial.
