Winner of the Hugo Award for Best Novel 2018
The Moon will soon return. Whether this heralds the destruction of humankind or something worse will depend on two women.
Essun has inherited the phenomenal power of Alabaster Tenring. With it,she hopes to find her daughter Nassun and forge a world in which every outcast child can grow up safe but she's in a race against time and against her own changing form.
For Nassun,her mother's mastery of the Obelisk Gate comes too late. She has seen the evil of the world,and accepted what her mother will not admit: that sometimes what is corrupt cannot be cleansed,only destroyed.
Breathtakingly ambitious,blisteringly brilliant and peopled with a cast of unforgettable characters,The Broken Earth trilogy - beginning with The Fifth Season,continuing in The Obelisk Gate and concluding with The Stone Sky - is the first series to win the Hugo best novel award three years in a row. A ground-breaking masterwork of contemporary fantasy fiction,this is a series not to be missed.
