A SEASON OF ENDINGS HAS BEGUN.

IT STARTS WITH THE 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 familiar with catastrophe, where the power of the earth is wielded as a weapon. And where there is no mercy.

This description comes from the publisher.

Review of 'The fifth season' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Good worldbuilding, although pretty grim at this point. Lots of hate in this world for people who are different (by various metrics). The plot also developed very well, I was surprised a few times. I wish I'd known there was a dictionary at the back though. Most of it is obvious, mind.
