From the record-breaking, four-time Hugo Award-winning N. K.
Jemisin comes 'a glorious fantasy' (Neil Gaiman) - a story of
culture, identity, magic and myths in contemporary New York City.
The sequel to the critically acclaimed The City We Became, this is
the final book of the Great Cities Duology. Every great city has a
soul. A human avatar that embodies their city's heart and wields
its magic. New York? She's got six. But all is not well in the city
that never sleeps. Though Brooklyn, Manny, Bronca, Venezia,
Padmini, and Neek have temporarily managed to stop the Woman in
White from invading--and destroying the entire universe in the
process--the mysterious capital "E" Enemy has more subtle powers at
her disposal. A new candidate for mayor wielding the populist
rhetoric of gentrification, xenophobia, and "law and order" may
have what it takes to change the very nature of New York itself and
take it down from the inside. In order to defeat him, and the Enemy
who holds his purse strings, the avatars will have to join together
with the other Great Cities of the world in order to bring her down
for good and protect their world from complete destruction.
'Hopeful and enthralling, The World We Make is more evidence of
[Jemisin's] ferocious talent' Esquire 'Jemisin brings her
living-city saga to a satisfying conclusion, maintaining a sense of
energy and excitement throughout' Booklist 'Jemisin embodies the
spirit of the city in as lush and lively a voice as ever and does a
masterful job incorporating even more history and magic' Publishers

primordial evil...This riveting and powerful urban fantasy duology

dies under mysterious circumstances, she is summoned to the

power struggle with cousins she never knew she had. As she fights
for her life, she draws ever closer to the secrets of her mother's
death and her family's bloody history. With the fate of the world
hanging in the balance, Yeine will learn how perilous it can be
when love and hate -- and gods and mortals -- are bound inseparably
together.

Entertainment Weekly Spirits haunt the flooded streets of New
Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. In a parallel

N. K. Jemisin's outstanding BROKEN EARTH trilogy has broken records
and boundaries, making her the only novelist to have won three Hugo
awards in three consecutive years. This beautifully presented box
set collects all three books for the the first time. Set in a world
of volcanoes and earthquakes, where the power of the earth can be
wielded and won, these remarkable novels of warring factions,
twisted morals, an Earth shattered and a family torn apart, weave
into a narrative both 'intricate and extraordinary' (New York
Times). This box set is the perfect gift for fans of game-changing
fantasy fiction. Book 1: THE FIFTH SEASON This is the way the world
ends . . . for the last time. It starts with the great red rift
across the heart of the world's only continent, spewing ash that
blots out the sun. It starts with death, with a murdered son and a
missing daughter. It starts with betrayal and long festering wounds
rising up to fester. This is the Stillness, a land long familiar
with catastrophe, where the power of the earth can be used as a
weapon . . . and where there is no mercy. Book 2: THE OBELISK GATE
The Season of endings grows darker, as civilization fades into the
long cold night. Essun has found shelter but not her missing
daughter. Instead there is Alabaster Tenring, destroyer of the
world, with a request only Essun can grant. Book 3: THE STONE SKY
The Moon will soon return. Whether this heralds the destruction of
humankind or something worse will depend on two women. Essun has
inherited the phenomenal power of Alabaster Tenring. With it, she
hopes to find her daughter, Nassun, and forge a world in which
every outcast child can grow up in safety. 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 admit: that
sometimes the corrupt cannot be cleansed, only destroyed. The fate
of the world is balanced between a mother and her daughter.

BOOKS 'N. K. Jemisin is a powerhouse of speculative fiction. So,
obviously, you need to read this new short story collection' BUSTLE
N. K. Jemisin is one of the most powerful and acclaimed speculative
fiction authors of our time. In the first collection of her
evocative short fiction, Jemisin equally challenges and delights
readers with thought-provoking narratives of destruction, rebirth,
and redemption. In these stories, Jemisin sharply examines modern
society, infusing magic into the mundane, and drawing deft
parallels in the fantasy realms of her imagination. Dragons and
hateful spirits haunt the flooded streets of New Orleans in the
aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. In a parallel universe, a utopian
society watches our world, trying to learn from our mistakes. A
black mother in the Jim Crow South must save her daughter from a
fey offering impossible promises. And in the Hugo award-nominated
short story "The City Born Great," a young street kid fights to
give birth to an old metropolis's soul. For more from N. K.

Gujaareh, the city of dreams, suffers under the imperial rule of
the Kisuati Protectorate. A city where the only law was peace now
knows violence and oppression. And nightmares: a mysterious and
deadly plague haunts the citizens of Gujaareh, dooming the infected
to die screaming in their sleep. Trapped between dark dreams and
cruel overlords, the people yearn to rise up -- but Gujaareh has
known peace for too long.
Someone must show them the way.
Hope lies with two outcasts: the first woman ever allowed to join
the dream goddess' priesthood and an exiled prince who longs to
reclaim his birthright. Together, they must resist the Kisuati
occupation and uncover the source of the killing dreams... before
Gujaareh is lost forever.
