The return of the Moon signals a pivotal point for the surviving humans of a post‑apocalyptic Earth. Essun, the last of the orogenes who inherited the immense power of the Alabaster Tenring, must decide whether to pursue her daughter Nassun and create a sanctuary for all of her kind. Nassun, aware of the suffering inflicted by the world’s disorders, concedes that not all corruption can be cleansed, only eradicated. Together, their struggle determines whether humanity will finally be saved or bring about its ultimate destruction. This concluding volume brings together the themes of survival, motherhood, and the moral cost of power that defined the trilogy, and it earned the author her third consecutive Hugo Award.
