Overview
The Broken Earth trilogy is N.K. Jemisin's landmark work of speculative fiction, set on a single, restless continent known as the Stillness, where catastrophic seismic events called Fifth Seasons routinely threaten civilization. This brand-new paperback set collects The Fifth Season, The Obelisk Gate, and The Stone Sky, following a woman named Essun as she searches for her missing daughter across a fractured, dangerous world. Praised for its inventive structure and emotional depth, the trilogy explores power, oppression, and survival through people who can move the earth itself.

About the Books
Across three novels, N.K. Jemisin builds a richly imagined world where the ground itself is an antagonist and orogenes—people born with the ability to manipulate seismic energy—are both feared and exploited by the society they help protect. The Fifth Season opens as a Season-triggering rift tears the continent apart, introducing Essun as she sets out to find the daughter taken from her, while chapters set in the past reveal how she came to hide her own abilities. The Obelisk Gate widens the scope, uncovering long-buried history about ancient technology, the origins of orogeny, and the true cost of the world's uneasy stability, as Essun trains a new generation to survive what's coming. The Stone Sky closes the story with revelations about the moon, the founding of the Stillness's brutal caste systems, and the sacrifices required to change a broken world. Told partly through a distinctive second-person narration, the trilogy weaves intimate family drama with sweeping, planet-scale stakes. The series is widely recognized within the fantasy and science fiction community: each of the three novels won the Hugo Award for Best Novel in consecutive years, making Jemisin the first author to receive the honor for every installment in a single series.
