Winner of the 2016 Hugo Award for Best Novel
 
Shortlisted for the World Fantasy, Nebula, Kitschies, Audie and Locus Awards
 
Book 1 in the record-breaking triple Hugo-Award-winning trilogy, The Broken Earth.
 
This is the way the world ends… for the last time.
 
It starts with a great red rift across the heart of the world's sole continent, 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.
