The Fifth Season

About “The Fifth Season”

A Season of Endings has begun in the Stillness, a land shaped by catastrophe. The world's sole continent is torn by the Great Red Rift, which releases ash that darkens the sky. The story opens with death, as a son is murdered and a daughter disappears. It also begins with betrayal and old wounds resurfacing. The Stillness is a place where the power of the earth is used as a weapon, and where there is no mercy. This is the setting of a 2015 novel by N. K. Jemisin.
