Breq could flee with her ship and crew, but that would leave the people of Athoek in terrible danger. Breq has a desperate plan. The odds aren't good, but that's never stopped her before.

This is the way the world ends. Again.

Three terrible things happen in a single day. 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. 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. 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. Or centuries.

Now Essun must pursue the wreckage of her family through a deadly, dying land. 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. Essun does not care if the world falls apart around her. She'll break it herself, if she must, to save her daughter.

A Study in Scarlet is the novel which first introduced Arthur Conan Doyle's iconic characters Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. Published in 1887, it was featured in Beeton's Christmas Annual and marked the beginning of the world's fascination with this enigmatic detective and his partner.

The story is told from the perspective of Dr. John Watson, who, upon returning to London after serving in Afghanistan, finds himself in need of affordable accommodation. It is then that he meets Sherlock Holmes and the two decide to share a flat. Watson is intrigued by Holmes' eccentric behavior and vast knowledge in specific areas, yet his ignorance in others. Soon, Watson learns of Holmes' profession as the first "consulting detective" and quickly becomes involved in a case with him.

The mystery starts with the discovery of a man's body in an abandoned house, bearing no signs of injury but with the word RACHE written in blood on the wall. As they delve into the investigation, they uncover a series of unexpected twists and turns.
