This is the way the world ends... for the last time. The Moon will soon return.
Whether this heralds the destruction of humankind or something worse will depend on two women. Essun has inherited the power of Alabaster Tenring. With it, she hopes to find her daughter Nassun and forge a world in which every orogene child can grow up safe. For Nassun, her mother's mastery of the Obelisk Gate comes too late. She has seen the evil of the world, and accepted what her mother will not that sometimes what is corrupt cannot be cleansed, only destroyed. The remarkable conclusion to the post-apocalyptic and highly acclaimed trilogy that began with the multi-award-nominated The Fifth Season.

"Jemisin deliberately refuses to provide easy answers: they're simply not available, in this world or ours. Painful and powerful." ―Kirkus (starred review)
"Vivid characters, a tautly constructed plot, and outstanding worldbuilding meld into an impressive and timely story of abused, grieving survivors fighting to fix themselves and save the remnants of their shattered home." ―Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"The Stone Sky ... establishes [Jemisin] as arguably the most important speculative writer of her generation...It's that good. She's that good." ―John Scalzi
