The Inheritance Trilogy

"N.K. Jemisin’s epic fantasy series has just been reissued in a handy omnibus edition — so there’s no better time to visit the fractured, fractious Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, where the ruthless Arameri family rules from its glowing white sky palace, built by enslaved gods. So many fantasy writers fall into the one-planet-one-culture trap, but not Jemisin, who creates a fabulously diverse array of peoples and lands, shot through with magic, loss, sex and heartbreak. Best of all, this omnibus includes a brand-new novella, The Awakened Kingdom, set in the same world as the previous three books."
