As the populace rises up against the legacy of the Emotion Exploit and leaders grapple for power under threat of a new war, Jo must rely on her unique instincts—as a Green Lantern and the only human in this sector—to solve the crime and guide the City Enduring toward a more promi sing future.

  • Hugo award-winning and New York Times bestselling author N. K. Jemisin sharply examines modern society in her first short story collection. 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.

    Rezdületlen ​az a fal, mely a hagyományokkal való szembenállást jelképezi. A remény egyetlen sugaraként régóta eltemetve hever az egyre vastagabb hamuréteg alatt. Tízgyűrűs Alabástrom – az őrült, a világ megnyomorítója, a megmentő – küldetéssel tér vissza: ki akarja képezni utódját, Essunt. Essunt, aki menedékre lelt, de a lányát nem találta meg. Alabástrom egy kéréssel áll elő: ha Essun megteszi, az örökre megpecsételi Rezdületlen sorsát. Eközben messze tőle Nassun, a lánya egyre erősebb lesz – és a döntései meg fogják törni a világot. Egyre sötétebbé válik a mindennek végét jelentő évszak, miközben a civilizáció fokozatosan belesüpped a hosszú, sötét éjszakába. Az ötödik évszak folytatásában az obeliszkek és egy ősi rejtély végre választ adnak a kérdésekre. N. K. Jemisin ismét bizonyítja, hogy nem hiába jelölték az utóbbi években az SF összes komoly díjára: Az obeliszkkapu egy újabb felejthetetlen fantasy, ami merészen feszegeti a műfaj határait – ráadásul az elődjét követően ez a kötet is megkapta a Hugo-díjat.

    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.
