La cinquena estació

Three terrible things happen in one day. Essun, a woman who lives a normal life in a small town, returns home and discovers that her husband has brutally murdered her son and kidnapped her daughter. Meanwhile, the powerful Sanze, the world empire whose innovations have been the basis of civilization for a thousand years, collapses when most of its citizens are killed to serve the revenge of a madman. And worst of all, on the vast continent known as the Quietud, a large red crack has ripped through the heart of the earth, vomiting enough ash to darken the sky for years. The centuries. Essun must now pursue the remains of his family through a deadly and dying land. Without sunlight, clean water or arable land, and with limited storage of supplies, there will be war throughout the Quietud. Essun doesn't care if the world collapses around him. She herself will break everything, if necessary, to save her daughter.
