The incredible conclusion to the record-breaking triple Hugo award-winning trilogy that began with the The Fifth Season
The Moon will soon return. Whether this heralds the destruction of humankind or something worse will depend on two women. Essun has inherited the phenomenal power of Alabaster Tenring. With it, she hopes to find her daughter Nassun and forge a world in which every outcast child can grow up safe.
For Nassun, her mother's mastery of the Obelisk Gate comes too late. She has seen the evil of the world, and accepted what her mother will not admit: that sometimes what is corrupt cannot be cleansed, only destroyed.

The Broken Earth trilogy begins withThe Fifth Season, continues in The Obelisk Gateand concludes with The Stone Sky - out now.
Great conclusion to the series. Despite the apocalyptic nature of the world, this is a hopeful tale. The series brought themes of race and motherhood to the forefront to humanize the characters capable of shaking the earth. The ending of the various character's stories felt natural and satisfying.
