The story begins as Yeine is called to the city of Sky by her grandfather King Dekarta to be announced as one of three heirs to the Hundred Thousand Kingdoms. The other two heirs to the kingdom are Yeine's twin cousins Scimina and Relad Arameri. As Yeine soon finds out, both Scinima and Relad, are truly ambitious; they are ready to kill anyone for the kingdom. Yeine does not care much for her family and the kingdom, but she is much more concerned with finding out the truth behind her mother's murder; her relentless search for the truth allows her to meet some very interesting characters....She becomes acquainted with Sieh the trickster, Nahadoth the Nightlord, Viraine and a host of other characters....Her journey is filled with lies and deceit; she doesn't know whom to trust. In the process, she learns about her mother--the person she comes to know about is not consistent with the woman she knew as her mother--furthermore, she discovers her mother sold her to be a vessel for the Goddess Enefa. While she grapples with having another entity inside of her, she learns a very troubling secret which she is unable to avoid. Her destiny to be the sacrifice and emancipator of the godlings troubles her but yet she accepts her true destiny. This story is worth the time invested to discover what ultimately happens to Yeine in her journey.
