The Obelisk Gate

THIS IS THE WAY THE WORLD ENDS . . . FOR THE LAST TIME.The season of endings grows darker, as civilisation fades into the long cold night. Essun - once Damaya, once Syenite, now avenger - has found shelter, but not her daughter. Instead there is Alabaster Tenring, destroyer of the world, with a request. But if Essun does what he asks, it would seal the fate of the Stillness forever. Far away, her daughter Nassun is growing in power - and her choices will break the world.PRAISE FOR THE FIFTH SEASON:'Intricate and extraordinary' New York Times'Astounding' NPR'Brilliant' Washington Post'Breaks uncharted ground' Library Journal'Elegiac, complex, and intriguing' Publishers Weekly'Powerful' io9'Epic' SFF World'Beautiful' Nnedi Okorafor'Amazing' Ann Leckie
