She wore some kind of simple shift but had covered herself from head to toe with mud and then brown leaves as if to avoid being seen. Her features were hard to make out through the darkening ash that covered the world, and it seemed to stick in the air like fog.

This is the way the world ends. For the last time. The season of consummation grows darker as civilization fades into the long cold night. Alabaster Tenring – a madcap, world–clincher, and rescuer – has returned with a charge to train his successor, Essun, and therefore seal the fate of the Stillness ever.&nbsp;
It continues with a lost son, set up by the adversary. It continues with the shrines and an ancient riddle clustering on answers at last. The Stillness is the wall that stands against the inflow of tradition, the spark of stopgap long buried under the thickening ashfall. And it'll not be broken.&nbsp;
