 e=local&amp\;referred=resultIndex">The Fifth Season</a> by N. K. Jemisin.<
 /p>\n<p>"Three terrible things happen in a single day. Essun\, masqueradin
 g as an ordinary schoolteacher in a quiet small town\, comes home to find 
 that her husband has brutally murdered their son and kidnapped their daugh
 ter. 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 w
 orld's sole continent\, a great red rift has been torn which spews ash eno
 ugh to darken the sky for years. Or centuries. But this is the Stillness\,
  a land long familiar with struggle\, and where orogenes -- those who wiel
 d 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 br
 eak it herself\, if she must\, to save her daughter."-- MCPL Catalog.</p>\
