This is the way the world ends. Again. Three terrible things happen in a single day. Essun, a woman living an
ordinary life
in a small town, comes home to find that her husband has brutally murdered
their
son and kidnapped their daughter. Meanwhile, mighty Sanze -- the world-
spanning empire whose innovations have been civilization's bedrock for a
thousand years -- collapses as most of its citizens are murdered to serve a
madman's vengeance. And worst of all, across the heart of the vast continent
known as the Stillness, a great red rift has been been torn into the heart of
the
earth, spewing ash enough to darken the sky for years. Or centuries. Now Essun must pursue the wreckage of her family through a deadly, dying
land.
Without sunlight, clean water, or arable land, and with limited stockpiles of
supplies, there will be war all across the Stillness: a battle royale of nations
not for
power or territory, but simply for the basic resources necessary to get through
the
long dark night. Essun does not care if the world falls apart around her. She'll
break it herself, if she must, to save her daughter.
