By winning three Hugo prizes in a row for her magnificent BROKEN EARTH trilogy, N. K. Jemisin is the only novelist to have accomplished this feat. For the first time, all three novels are collected in an exquisitely designed box set. These astonishing novels, which are set in a world with volcanoes and earthquakes where the power of the earth may be used and conquered, weave a story that is "intricate and spectacular" with warring factions, perverted morals, a broken Earth, and a family torn apart (New York Times). Fans of fantasy novels that changes the game will love this box set. THE FIFTH SEASON, Book 1 This is the final way the planet will ever end. The sun-blocking ash erupting from the world's only continent's vast crimson rift is where it all begins. With a slain son and a lost daughter, it all begins in death. Beginning with betrayal, long-simmering wounds begin to fester. This is the Stillness, a place that has a long history of disaster, where the earth's strength may be wielded as a weapon, and where there is no mercy. THE OBELISK GATE, in Book 2. As society disappears into the protracted, icy darkness, the Season of Endings grows darker. Essun has found sanctuary, but her daughter is still missing. Alabaster Tenring, the world's destroyer, is there instead, asking for something that only Essun can grant. The Stone Sky, book three The Moon will appear again soon. Two women will choose if this portends the end of humanity or something worse. Essun has inherited Alabaster Tenring's extraordinary power. She intends to use it to locate her daughter Nassun and create a society where abandoned children can grow up in safety. Nassun is too late to benefit from her mother's mastery of the Obelisk Gate.
