I've arrived, at last, at the third book of N.K. Jemisin's Inheritance Trilogy, The Kingdom of Gods.  Time has passed in the mortal world, and the Arameri power is declining.  Sieh, one of the original godlings, befriends the heir to the throne, after being stricken with an curse that is making him mortal.  While trying to find a cure, he has stumbled onto a vast conspiracy...Someone is murdering members of the royal family.  But is it revenge against the powerful family that holds the world together, or merely practice for the murder of the gods themselves?

The Tease:

"I was five years older, several centuries chastened, and more hated than ever by my siblings, including the one I'd apparently forgotten.  As first days on the job went...well.
I was still alive.  It remained to be seen whether this was a good thing."

 -The Kingdom of Gods, by N.K. Jemisin
