Broken earth. Book 2. Gate of obelisks

The schism is plowing, and the world is sinking deeper and deeper into the cold and darkness of the last Age. Essun's search led her to a strange encounter with old and new friends, but did not bring her closer to the goal - the daughter kidnapped by her husband. Meanwhile, she is moving further and further away from her mother, and miles of ashen wasteland are not the most insurmountable obstacle that separates them.
Essun is faced with two unsolicited tasks, each more impossible than the other: to accept the Thunder as her new home and to open the Gate of Obelisks to end the Pores once and for all. Reaching the depths of the orogeny, the world and her own being, the woman will prepare for the decisive battle of the ancient war in which she found herself.
