"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.

Dans l’ancienne Cité-État de Gujaareh, la paix est la seule loi. Sur les toits et parmi les ombres des rues pavées attendent les collecteurs, gardiens de cette paix. Serviteurs de la Déesse des Rêves, leur devoir est de récolter la magie de l’esprit endormi et de l’utiliser pour guérir, apaiser… ou tuer ceux qui sont jugés corrompus. Mais lorsqu’une conspiration éclate au sein du temple, Éhiru, le plus célèbre des collecteurs, doit remettre en question tout ce qu’il sait.

Winner of the 2017 Hugo Award for Best Novel. Sequel to the multi-award nominated The Fifth Season. The season of endings grows darker, as civilisation fades into the long cold night. Essun has found shelter, but not her missing daughter. Instead there is Alabaster Tenring, destroyer of the world, with a request only Essun can grant. The Broken Earth trilogy begins with The Fifth Season, continues in The Obelisk Gate and concludes with The Stone Sky.

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.
