“Let’s start with the end of the world, why don’t we? Get it over with and move on to more interesting things.”
— From the novel
This is the way the world ends... for the last time. A season of endings has begun.
It starts with the great red rift across the heart of the world’s sole continent, spewing volcanic ash that chokes out the sun. It starts with death, with a murdered son and a missing daughter.
It starts with a woman named Essun, who must conceal her catastrophic orogene power to survive in a society that fears and exploits her people. As the continent crumbles into seismic chaos, Essun embarks on a relentless journey across an apocalyptic landscape to find her surviving child.
