Broken earth. Book 1. The fifth season

"The Fifth Season" opens readers to the world of Tranquility - a long-suffering continent, which, by bitter irony, has not known peace and quiet for thousands of years, and where humanity is left at the mercy of the Father of the Earth. The Chosen of Earth are orogens who possess the ability to sense the planet and redirect the Earth's energy, averting or causing disaster. Once every few hundred years, anomalous seismic activity causes deadly cloudiness and cold that can last for years, and which ancient science, etched in stone, calls the Fifth Age. And the longest Season this earth has known is about to begin; this is how the world ends.
But, in addition to the planetary end of the world, there is also a personal one - the end of the world is coming for Essun, a woman from the town of Tirimo. The end of the world is only the beginning; there is still a lot of pain and suffering, betrayal and injustice, heat and ashes ahead. Essun will go towards this in order to return what was lost, to take revenge on the wrongdoers and - no matter how incredible - to win his place in this cruel world. And with her - and you.
