Haven't read it, but always eager to display any black fantasy author who's making it out there-
The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms: The Inheritance Trilogy, Book 1
Yeine Darr is an outcast from the barbarian north. But when her mother dies under mysterious circumstances, she is summoned to the majestic city of Sky. There, to her shock, Yeine is named an heiress to the king. But the throne of the Hundred Thousand Kingdoms is not easily won, and Yeine is thrust into a vicious power struggle with a pair of cousins she never knew she had.
