The Broken Earth trilogy
Book 1: The Fifth Season
N.K. Jemisin (2015)
Essun must pursue the wreckage of her family through a deadly, dying land. Without sunlight, clean water, or arable land, and with limited stockpiles of supplies, there will be war all across the Stillness: a battle royale of nations not for power or territory, but simply for the basic resources necessary to get through the long dark night. Essun does not care if the world falls apart around her. She’ll break it herself, if she must, to save her daughter.
Book 2: The Obelisk Gate
N.K. Jemisin (2017)
The season of endings grows darker as civilization fades into the long cold night. Alabaster Tenring – madman, world-crusher, savior – has returned with a mission: to train his successor, Essun, and thus seal the fate of the Stillness forever. The Stillness is the wall which stands against the flow of tradition, the spark of hope long buried under the thickening ashfall. And it will not be broken.
Book 3: The Stone Sky
N.K. Jemisin (2017)
From first loves to weird roommates, heartbreak, self-discovery, coming out and mental health, Ava and Gen document every wild and awkward moment to each other. But as each changes and grows into her new life, will their friendship be able to survive the distance?
