Takto vyzerá koniec sveta... ten posledný. Mesiac sa onedlho vráti. Závisí len od dvoch žien, či to veští zánik ľudstva, alebo čosi horšie. Essun zdedila moc Alabastera Desaťprsteňového. Ovládla Obeliskovú bránu a dúfa, že vďaka nej nájde svoju dcéru Nassun a vytvorí svet, v ktorom každé orogenické dieťa bude môcť vyrastať v bezpečí.
Pre Nassun je však neskoro. Videla, aký je svet zlý, a pochopila to, čo jej matka odmieta pripustiť: že skazené sa nie vždy dá napraviť. Niekedy pomôže iba to zničiť.
Takto sa skončí svet... Naposledy. Essun, obyčajná žena z malého mesta, zistí, že jej manžel brutálne zavraždil ich syna a uniesol dcéru. V ten istý deň padne mocná ríša Sanze a väčšina jej obyvateľov umrie pre pomstu šialenca. Navyše sa v srdci rozľahlého kontinentu Nehybnosť objaví červená prasklina a chrlí do vzduchu toľko popola, že môže zatemniť oblohu na celé storočia. Essun sa vydáva po stopách manžela cez umierajúcu krajinu a je ochotná zničiť aj celý svet, len aby dcéru zachránila.
TAKTO VYZERÁ KONIEC SVETA... TEN POSLEDNÝ. Obdobie konca je čoraz temnejšie a na civilizáciu sa znáša dlhá chladná noc. Essun – kedysi Damaya, potom Syenit, teraz pomstiteľka – našla útočisko, ale nie svoju dcéru. Namiesto toho sa znova stretla s Alabasterom Desaťprsteňovým, šialencom, ničiteľom sveta, spasiteľom, ktorý má preňu novú misiu. Ak však Essun urobí, čo žiada, navždy spečatí osud Nehybnosti. Jej dcéra Nessun sa stáva čoraz mocnejšou a hrozí, že jej rozhodnutia nakoniec zlomia svet.
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. Dreamblood DuologyThe Killing MoonThe Shadowed Sun For more from N.

'Utterly enthralling' Trudi Canavan In the ancient city-state of Gujaareh, peace is the only law. Upon its rooftops and amongst the shadows of its cobbled streets wait the Gatherers - the keepers of this peace. Priests of the dream-goddess, their duty is to harvest the magic of the sleeping mind and use it to heal, soothe . . . and kill those judged corrupt. But when a conspiracy blooms within Gujaareh's great temple, Ehiru - the most famous of the city's Gatherers - must question everything he knows. Someone, or something, is murdering innocent dreamers in the goddess' name, stalking its prey both in Gujaareh's alleys and the realm of dreams. Ehiru must now protect the woman he was sent to kill - or watch the city be devoured by war and forbidden magic.
