At the end of the world, a woman must hide her secret power and find her kidnapped daughter in this “intricate and extraordinary” Hugo Award winning novel of power, oppression, and revolution. (The New York Times).
This is the way the world ends…for the last time. It starts with the great red rift across the heart of the world's sole continent, spewing ash that blots out the sun. It starts with death, with a murdered son and a missing daughter. It starts with betrayal, and long dormant wounds rising up to fester.
This is the Stillness, a land long familiar with catastrophe, where the power of the earth is wielded as a weapon. And where there is no mercy.
Read the first book in the critically acclaimed, three-time Hugo award-winning trilogy by NYT bestselling author N. K. Jemisin.

💭 have you read any books with a second-person narrative?
💭 have you read any books with a second-person narrative?
when it’s done well, I think second person POV is one of the most powerful ways to tell a story! and all of these gutted me in their own way.

I sometimes get comments about why does it matter if it’s written by a woman or not or why do I make the distinction between Romantasy and non Romantasy and I wanted to address this! My favorite fantasy is often written by women and anytime I can get you guys to read them I’m gunna! #books #booktok #bookstagram #booksta #bookworm #fantasy #fantasybooks #womenauthors #fantasybookrecs

Giveaway Reminder + Discord + Dystopian Recs
Happy birthday Haymitch Abernathy 🎂
It’s Reaping Day but before you post about how “we’re not far now from having our IRL Hunger Games” I just ask that your dystopia doesn’t begin with The Hunger Games and abruptly end with The Handmaid’s Tale 📕
The third slide has two dystopias I’ve read and two from my TBR that I’ve heard raving reviews of. These can be heavy reads, but the thing I love about dystopia as a genre is the way in which it reveals so much about humanity and the many forms that resistance can take

[Welcome to the Inkborne Society ✨- I'm so glad you're here! To kick things off, I’ve put together a few Q&As to share a bit more about me, what this space is for, and what you can expect around here. Can't wait to build this community together!\ \ Why are you excited to join Bindery?\ \ The best stories are the ones we experience together, and I’m thrilled to join Bindery to connect and build community in a new way, share a broader range of content, and uplift diverse voices across all genres, especially fantasy, sci-fi, and dark academia.\ \ What can members expect?\ \ Expect a space to connect, share, and celebrate the books we love, access to a community Discord, buddy reads, and exclusive Bindery content including editing tutorials, long-form reviews, monthly lists of new SFF releases, book recommendation articles, thoughts on book-to-screen adaptations, and more!\ \ What are some of your favorite books and series?\ \
- Piranesi (Susanna Clarke)\ \
- Blood Over Bright Haven (M.L. Wang)\ \
- The Broken Earth Trilogy (N.K. Jemisin)\ \
- The Poppy War Trilogy (R.F. Kuang)\ \
- Circe (Madeline Miller)\ \
- The Sword of Kaigen (M.L. Wang)\ \
- The Paper Menagerie (Ken Liu)\ \
- Best Served Cold (Joe Abercrombie)\ \
- This is How You Lose the Time War (Amal El-Mohtar & Max Gladstone)\ \
- A Song of Ice and Fire (George R.R. Martin)\ \
- The Spear Cuts Through Water (Simon Jimenez)\ \
- The Hunger Games (Suzanne Collins)\ \ \ What’s in the Discord, and how do I access it?\ \ The Inkborne Society Discord is linked at the top of my site and features channels to discuss books, film/tv, content creator tips and tricks (including ARC requests and influencer programs), and much more! To make sure your Bindery subscriber tier transfers over to Discord, please integrate your account.\ \ Update: As of September 2025, our newly launched community book club will also be holding discussions on Discord!\ \ What is Bindery?\ \ Bindery is a community-powered book publisher - think of it as part publishing house, part Substack, part Patreon, and part content hub all rolled into one. It gives creators a place to bring everything together: they can link content from across social platforms, share exclusive Bindery content (like articles, rec lists, videos, and polls), and connect with their audience more directly. There are also perks like Discord communities, book clubs, and whatever else creators dream up!\ \ One of the coolest parts of The Bindery is that Tastemakers (that’s what content creators are called on the platform) who grow strong, engaged communities have the chance to launch their very own imprint, and the community gets to be part of the entire journey - from acquisition all the way to publication!\ \ A Little More About Me\ \ Hi! My name is Amanda - I’m in my mid-twenties and based in New York City. I started creating book content about two years ago using the moniker "azhangia" and it’s been such a joy to connect with others who love stories as much as I do.\ \ Fantasy, mythology, sci-fi, dark academia, and literary fiction are some of my favorite genres, and I often find myself gravitating towards sad books (the more devastating, the better). When I am not reading, I can be found listening to film scores, attending dance classes, or lurking around in dessert spots around the city!\ \ Thank you so much for being here, and once again, welcome to The Inkborne Society.](https://azhangia.binderybooks.com/item/9FIRo8zNLlDddLHPu3jy/)
