N. K. Jemisin's outstanding BROKEN EARTH trilogy has broken records and boundaries, making her the only novelist to have won three Hugo awards in three consecutive years.
This beautifully presented box set collects all three books for the the first
time.
Set in a world of volcanoes and earthquakes, where the power of the earth can be
wielded and won, these remarkable novels of warring factions, twisted morals, an
Earth shattered and a family torn apart, weave into a narrative both
‘intricate and extraordinary’ (New York Times).
This box set is the perfect gift for fans of game-changing fantasy fiction.
Book 1: THE FIFTH SEASON
This is the way the world ends . . . for the last time. It starts with the great
red rift across the heart of the world's only continent, spewing ash that blots
out the sun. It starts with death, with a murdered son and a missing daughter.
It starts with betrayal and long festering wounds rising up to fester. This is
the Stillness, a land long familiar with catastrophe, where the power of the
earth can be used as a weapon . . . and where there is no mercy.
Book 2: THE OBELISK GATE
The Season of endings grows darker, as civilization fades into the long cold
night. Essun has found shelter but not her missing daughter. Instead there is
Alabaster Tenring, destroyer of the world, with a request only Essun
can grant.
Book 3: THE STONE SKY
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 in safety. 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 the
corrupt cannot be cleansed, only destroyed. The fate of the world is balanced
between a mother and her daughter.
