ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"The Fifth Season" by N.K. Jemisin is set in the Stillness, a world plagued by catastrophic geological upheavals. The story follows three women—Essun, Damaya, and Nassun—each navigating the complexities of their identities as orogenes, individuals with the ability to manipulate the earth. As they confront personal loss and societal oppression, themes of survival, resilience, and family dynamics emerge. The novel explores the deep fear surrounding orogenes and the brutal systems designed to control them, all while weaving a rich narrative filled with emotional depth and social commentary. Their intertwined journeys set the stage for profound transformation.
