This is how the world comes to an end. Once more.

One day, three horrible things occur. When Essun, a regular housewife in a small village, returns home, she discovers that her husband has abducted their daughter and killed their son viciously. In the meanwhile, the vast kingdom of Sanze, whose inventions have supported civilization for a millennium, falls apart as the majority of its people are killed in order to exact revenge on a lunatic. Worst of all, a massive crimson fissure that has ripped into the earth's core over the huge continent known as the Stillness has spewed enough ash to cover the sky with darkness for years. or millennials.

Now, Essun has to go across a terrible, dying world in search of her family's wreckage. There will be violence across the Stillness due to a lack of sunshine, clean water, arable land, and limited supplies. This battle royale between countries will not be for control of territory or power, but rather for the fundamental resources needed to survive the long, dark night. Essun doesn't give a damn if everything collapses around her. If she has to shatter it herself to rescue her kid, she will.
