This is the end of the world. Again. In just one week, three terrible things happen ...
Essun, hiding in a quiet town like an ordinary teacher, comes home to find that her husband has brutally murdered their son and kidnapped his daughter. The powerful Sanzed Empire, which has been the bearer of progress and the foundation of civilization for thousands of years, will collapse because a madman will vengefully destroy his largest city. Worst of all, in the heart of a single world continent, a large red fissure begins to open, spewing so much ash that it will cover the sky for years. Or centuries.
But this is Tišina, a world where the struggle for life is far from new, and where the fear of a long, cold night arouses orogens - those who control the power of the earth as a weapon. Essun realizes who she is and decides to get her daughter back. She doesn't care that the world is falling apart. If necessary, she would destroy it herself just to achieve her own.
The most successful fantasy series in history - Hugo winner three times in a row.
"The fifth season is a powerful epic novel about discovery, pain and grief, set in the landscape of a world that has been broken many times, and with characters who are very devastated and contradictory. This novel requires something from its readers, but then rewards them abundantly; it's one of those books that, after deep thought and re-reading, become even more impressive. "
