The most successful fantasy series in history — winner of the Hugo Award three times in a row.
This is how the world ends… for the last time.
The Season of Endings grows darker as a long, cold night falls upon civilisation. The Ring-wielder Alabaster—madman, world-destroyer, saviour—has returned with a mission: to train his successor, Essun, and thus seal the fate of the Stillness once and for all.
Meanwhile, far away, Essun’s lost daughter Nassun is gathering strength of her own. The decisions she is driven toward could have devastating consequences. And the mysterious obelisks are beginning to reveal ancient secrets.
What they’re saying about The Obelisk Gate
"You simply must read this fantasy. […] N. K. Jemisin's work is among those that refuse to be confined to a fan ghetto and intend to reflect the real problems and challenges of modern times. […] We can rightly call The Fifth Season the fantasy novel of the year in the domestic market. "
Česká televize
"The sequel to The Fifth Season is exceptional. The only problem for those who eagerly awaited the second installment is that turning the last page brings the same anguish all over again. "
Library Journal
"Jemisin is now a pillar of speculative fiction. A wonderfully imaginative and bold story. "
