The other two are narrated in the third person and follow a young girl named Damaya and a woman in her early twenties named Syenite. One, narrated in the second person, follows a middle-aged woman named Essun from a small town called Tirimo. The Fifth Season is set on a supercontinent called the Stillness that is constantly rocked by seismic activity, some of it devastating to civilization and causing an extended winter referred to as a “Fifth Season.” The story is split into three separate narratives. The Fifth Season tells us of the story of three Orogenes: Damaya, a young Orogene, who is taken to the Fulcrum to be trained as an Imperial Orogene Syenite, a four-ringer Imperial Orogene, who goes on a mission to help a coastal comm and at the same time procreate with the ten-ringer Alabaster and Essun, an Orogene who lives in disguise as a still. Humans fear the Orogenes, and given the chance, slaughter them. Living among humans are Orogenes, who can harness the power of the earth to wield magic. On a singular supercontinent called The Stillness, people live with the constant danger of quakes and, in the coastal comms, tsunamis.
