THE FIFTH SEASON

The Broken Earth: Book 1 by N. K. Jemisin

Winner of the Hugo Award for Best Novel — Book 1 in the Record-Breaking Triple Hugo Award-Winning Trilogy

This is the way the world ends. For the last time.

THE STORY THAT WILL CONSUME YOU

It starts with the Great Red Rift — a crack across the heart of the world’s sole continent, spewing ash that blots out the sun.

It starts with death. A murdered son. A missing daughter.

It starts with betrayal, and long dormant wounds rising up to fester.

This is the Stillness — a land long familiar with catastrophe, where the power of the earth is wielded as a weapon. A world that has survived countless apocalypses. A world with no mercy left to give.

One continent. One catastrophe. Three women — one story.
And a world that will never be the same.
