Le retour imminent de la Lune signifie-t-il la fin de l'humanité ou au contraire sa rédemption ? La réponse à cette question repose sur les épaules d'une femme et de sa fille. La première, Essun, entend se servir des pouvoirs qu'elle a hérités d'Albâtre pour bâtir un monde dans lequel les orogènes seraient libres. Mais pour la seconde, Nassun, il est trop tard. Elle a vu ce que le monde avait à offrir de pire, et elle a accepté ce que sa mère n'admettra jamais : qu'il est corrompu au-delà du point de non-retour, et que sa destruction est inévitable.

This is the way the world ends...for the last time. It starts with the great red rift across the heart of the world, spewing ash that blots out the sun. It starts with death, with a murdered son and a missing daughter. It starts with betrayal, and long dormant wounds rising up to fester. This is the Stillness, a land long familiar with catastrophe, where the power of the earth is wielded as a weapon. And where there is no mercy.

La terre tremble si souvent sur votre monde que la civilisation y est menacée en permanence. Le pire s'est d'ailleurs déjà produit plus d'une fois : de grands cataclysmes ont détruit les plus fières cités et soumis la planète à des hivers terribles, d'interminables nuits auxquelles l'humanité n'a survécu que de justesse. Les gens comme vous, les orogènes, qui possédez le talent de dompter volcans et séismes, devraient être vénérés.

"La Cinquième Saison" jette les derniers vestiges de la civilisation dans une froide nuit sans fin. Essun - jadis Damaya, puis Syénite, mais qui n'est plus aujourd'hui que vengeance - a trouvé un abri, mais pas sa fille. Son chemin croise à nouveau celui d'Albâtre, le destructeur du monde revenu d'entre les morts, porteur d'une demande qu'elle seule peut satisfaire et dont il ne peut résulter que le chaos.

The Moon will soon return. Whether this heralds the destruction of humankind or something worse will depend on two women. Essun has inherited the phenomenal power of Alabaster Tenring. With it, she hopes to find her daughter, Nassun, and forge a world in which every outcast child can grow up safe. For Nassun, her mother's mastery of the Obelisk Gate comes too late. She has seen the evil of the world and accepted what her mother won't: that sometimes what is corrupt cannot be cleansed, only destroyed.

En descendant du train à Penn Station, le jeune homme se rend compte qu'il a tout oublié : son nom, son passé, son visage... Une seule certitude : quoiqu'il n'ait jamais mis les pieds à Manhattan, il est ici chez lui. Rien d'anormal, donc, à ce qu'un vieux taxi jaune à damiers s'arrête devant lui au moment où il en a le plus besoin. Il doit impérativement se rendre sur FDR Drive ; il ignore pourquoi, mais cela a sans doute un rapport avec les tentacules qui sèment le trouble à chaque coin de rue.

I’m going to host a gathering of werecats to discuss the recent changes in our small world, changes I brought about for the most part. I told Hasan I would handle this and I am going to, even if he doesn’t believe in me.

Ha dado comienzo una estación de desenlaces. Empieza con una gran grieta roja que recorre las entrañas del único continente del planeta, una grieta que escupe una ceniza que oculta la luz del sol. Empieza con la muerte, con un hijo asesinado y una hija perdida. Empieza con una traición, con heridas latentes que comienzan a supurar. El lugar es la Quietud, un continente acostumbrado a la catástrofe en el que la energía de la tierra se utiliza como arma. Y en el que no hay lugar para la misericordia.

The world knows me as Jacqueline, daughter of Hasan, the werecat that fell in love with a werewolf. I prefer Jacky Leon, and I knew what I was getting into when I allowed myself to fall in love with Heath Everson. We’re standing against centuries of animosity between the two species, and it’s a dangerous place to be. I’m checking the shadows, and securing my territory, making sure no one can sneak up on us. Heath is keeping his eyes on more obvious problems. Something bad is going to happen. And the problems we face are much more nefarious than we could have bargained for.

I live a happy life. I have a lover that I am quickly falling for. I have friends and family that rely on me to keep my territory safe and secure for them. My bar’s business is booming. But I’ve made enemies, some that I know and some that I don’t. Hate for me and the life I’m building is creeping in the darkness. Hate can be insidious. It can stain the purest of hearts and fog the sharpest of minds. It can come from the most unlikely of places.

Get your affairs in order. War doesn’t wait for anyone to be ready. With the terrible recent events weighing on my mind, I know the only way I can go is forward. My family, our allies, and I know for certain that there is a sect of witches that want to control the moon cursed for their own nefarious purposes. We don’t know how many of them there are, and we don’t know their names. We know it’s not every witch, but that doesn’t make us less suspicious of every single one of them.

The fact that she’s a werecat is just something she’s had to live with Alone in her territory, she’s lived a secretive life for six years: under the radar, avoiding her past and the baggage that comes with it. Trouble finds Jacky, though, in the form of an 11-year-old girl and a werewolf turf war just outside her borders. Forced to honor an ancient treaty and the Laws of the supernatural world, Jacky swears an oath to protect Carey Everson, the human daughter of a local werewolf Alpha from Dallas.

Jacky Leon is a member of the strongest werecat family alive; a family that commands the loyalty of every werecat that walks the face of the earth. Her family is the definition of power, and none have dared challenge that for millennia. It’s not a legacy she’s comfortable with, but it’s the one she’s been given, and Jacky is resolved to do her best with her new responsibilities. When rogue werecats begin to test Jacky’s territory, paranoia mounts as questions go unanswered and lives are potentially at stake.
