The Kingdom of Gods by N.K. Jemisin (2011) Orbit
In which Sieh’s story is told – he
is the oldest of the Gods’ children, a trickster and in love with a mortal
brother and sister – and when they mix their blood in a ceremony as children,
Sieh becomes increasingly mortal. The
sister is the heir of the powerful family that rules the world. Her brother, an inconvenience is sent away to
learn how to be a scrivener. But they are
not ordinary mortal children. They are
also the grandchildren of a godling, which makes them demons and makes their
blood poisonous to gods and godlings.
While The Three have exiled one of their own, the parallels between the
two sets tells potentially the same story.
