Description
Tres cosas terribles ocurren en un solo día. Essun, disfrazados como un maestro ordinario en un pequeño pueblo tranquilo, llega a casa para encontrar que su marido ha asesinado brutalmente a su hijo y secuestrado a su hija. Mighty Sanze, el imperio cuyas innovaciones han sido cimiento de la civilización durante mil años, se contrae como su mayor ciudad es destruida por un loco de la venganza. Y lo peor de todo, en el corazón de el único continente del mundo, un gran rift rojo ha sido desgarrada que expele ceniza suficiente para oscurecer el cielo durante años. O siglos. Pero esto es la quietud, una tierra muy familiar con la lucha, y donde orogenes--aquellos que detentan el poder de la tierra como un arma--se teme mucho más que la larga noche fría. Essun ha recordado para ella, y ella tendrá a su hija de vuelta. No importa si el mundo se desmorona a su alrededor. Essun romperá por sí misma, si ella debe, para salvar a su hija.
Description
Three terrible things happen in a single day. Essun, masquerading as an ordinary schoolteacher in a quiet small town, comes home to find that her husband has brutally murdered their son and kidnapped their daughter. Mighty Sanze, the empire whose innovations have been civilization's bedrock for a thousand years, collapses as its greatest city is destroyed by a madman's vengeance. And worst of all, across the heartland of the world's sole continent, a great red rift has been torn which spews ash enough to darken the sky for years. Or centuries. But this is the Stillness, a land long familiar with struggle, and where orogenes--those who wield the power of the earth as a weapon--are feared far more than the long cold night. Essun has remembered herself, and she will have her daughter back. She does not care if the world falls apart around her. Essun will break it herself, if she must, to save her daughter.
