Some truths must be learned the hard way. . .
As the first new godling born in thousands of years — and the heir presumptive to Sieh the Trickster — Shill's got big shoes to fill. She's well on her way when she defies her parents and sneaks off to the mortal realm, which is no place for an impressionable young god. In short order she steals a demon's grandchild, gets herself embroiled in a secret underground magical dance competition, and offends her oldest and most powerful sibling.
But for Eino, the young Darren man whom Shill has befriended, the god-child's silly games are serious business. Trapped in an arranged marriage and prohibited from pursuing his dreams, he has had enough. He will choose his own fate, even if he must betray a friend in the process — and Shill might just have to grow up faster than she thinks.
This novella, The Awakened Kingdom takes place after the events of The Kingdom of Gods and will also be included in both the print and ebook ominbus of The Inheritance Trilogy in 12/14.

After her outstanding work on the Broken Earth Trilogy, narrator Robin Miles returns to perform this latest installment by N.K. Jemisin--a sequel novella to the Awakened Trilogy. Shill, the first new godling born in ages, has a lot of pressure on her shoulders as heir. Miles portrays her with a good-natured hint of mischief in her voice that is perfect for a young character who is striving to establish a streak of independence. In contrast, Miles's portrayal of Eino, a serious young man who is determined to change his fate, is an expression of calm conviction. Together, these adeptly performed characters create a meaningful continuation that will give fans of the trilogy a satisfying ending. N.H. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine
