ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“The Obelisk Gate” by N.K. Jemisin is a science fiction novel set in a world ravaged by catastrophic earthquakes and environmental collapse. The story follows two main characters, Essun and her daughter Nassun, who possess the dangerous power of orogeny—the ability to control seismic energy. As they navigate a broken world, Essun struggles to protect her community while grappling with her leadership role and burgeoning power. Meanwhile, Nassun, under the guidance of the mysterious Schaffa, begins to embrace her orogenic abilities, leading to a clash between their conflicting ideologies. Themes of survival, identity, and the abuse of power are central to the narrative.
