MARYVILLE, Mo. — The Maryville R-II Board of Education last week approved placing a no-tax-increase bond on the April ballot, which will seek the right to use $23 million for
N.K. Jemsin’s debut trilogy is set to be adapted for television, according to
Deadline. The trilogy, made up of
The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, The Broken Kingdoms, and The Kingdom of Gods, is set in a fantastical city of Sky, where a titanic struggle for power ensues.
The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms marked Jemsin’s debut as a novelist, went on to earn the Locus Award for Best First Novel, and was shortlisted for the Hugo, Nebula, World Fantasy, David Gemmell, and Goodreads Readers’ Choice Awards.
The book is about an estranged woman named Yeine Darr, who returns home to Sky after her mother is murdered, and learns that she’s her grandfather’s heir. That claim is contested by her two cousins, and it sparks a fight for control of the throne, made complicated by four enslaved Gods that the family holds as weapons and Yeine’s own search for her mother’s murderer.
