The Obelisk Gate (The Broken Earth #2)

Winner of the Hugo Award

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.
