Unrelated to the novels, just in the same universe."Who knew a post-apocalyptic fanatsy could forge a new path over well-trodden ground while still packing an emotional punch?"- Parade on The Stone Sky “Stone Hunger,” a novelette set in the Stillness. She’ll break it herself, if she must, to save her daughter. Essun does not care if the world falls apart around her. Without sunlight, clean water, or arable land, and with limited stockpiles of supplies, there will be war all across the Stillness: a battle royale of nations not for power or territory, but simply for the basic resources necessary to get through the long dark night. Now Essun must pursue the wreckage of her family through a deadly, dying land. And worst of all, across the heart of the vast continent known as the Stillness, a great red rift has been torn into the heart of the earth, spewing ash enough to darken the sky for years. Meanwhile, mighty Sanze - the world-spanning empire whose innovations have been civilization’s bedrock for a thousand years - collapses as most of its citizens are murdered to serve a madman’s vengeance. Essun, a woman living an ordinary life in a small town, comes home to find that her husband has brutally murdered their son and kidnapped their daughter. Three terrible things happen in a single day.
