Y lo peor de todo, en el corazón del único continente del mundo, se ha abierto una gran grieta roja que arroja suficientes cenizas para oscurecer el cielo durante años. O siglos. Pero esta es la Quietud, una tierra familiarizada con la lucha desde hace mucho tiempo, y donde los orogenes, aquellos que manejan el poder de la tierra como arma, son mucho más temidos que la larga y fría noche. Essun se ha recordado a sí misma y recuperará a su hija. No le importa si el mundo se desmorona a su alrededor. Essun lo romperá ella misma, si es necesario, para salvar a su hija
