What this book is about

The conclusion to the Inheritance Trilogy. Sieh, the ancient trickster god who embodies the spirit of childhood, makes a careless deal that begins to make him mortal. As he slowly ages and weakens, Sieh must navigate the political crisis threatening the Hundred Thousand Kingdoms while confronting what it means to die when you've always been eternal. N.K. Jemisin's trilogy ends with its most emotionally complex volume — grief, love, and a trickster who finally has something to lose.
