The trilogy is set in a world known as the Stillness, which is plagued by recurring cataclysms called "Fifth Seasons." During these Seasons, the earth trembles, volcanoes erupt, and devastating climate changes unfold. These catastrophic events shape the lives of the characters and make survival a constant struggle.

The Fifth Season

The Fifth Season follows the journey of three women who are all connected in ways they couldn't imagine. Essun, a middle-aged woman living in a small town, discovers that her husband has murdered their young son and kidnapped their daughter. Fueled by grief and rage, Essun sets out on a quest to find her daughter and seek revenge.

During her quest, Essun meets Syenite, a young woman who is training to become a powerful orogene - individuals with the ability to control and manipulate the earth's energy. As they travel together, they navigate the treacherous and unforgiving landscapes of the Stillness, encountering both allies and enemies along the way.

The third protagonist of the story is Damaya, a young girl who is taken to the Fulcrum - a school where young orogenes are trained and controlled. Damaya learns to harness her powers and navigate the complicated power dynamics of the Fulcrum. Her character arc provides a deep exploration of the struggles faced by those who are born with extraordinary abilities in a world that fears and suppresses them.

One of the standout elements of The Fifth Season is its exploration of themes such as oppression, trauma, prejudice, and the power dynamics within societies. Jemisin expertly weaves these themes into the fabric of the story, creating a narrative that is as thought-provoking as it is engaging.

At the end of the world, a woman must hide her secret power and find her kidnapped daughter in this "intricate and extraordinary" Hugo Award winning novel of power, oppression, and revolution. (The New York Times)

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 sole 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 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. And where there is no mercy.

Read the first book in the critically acclaimed, three-time Hugo award-winning trilogy by NYT bestselling author N. K. Jemisin.
