  "[A] riveting, and original, achievement."—WIREDFrom award-winning Spanish author Ray Loriga comes a dystopian novel about authority, manipulation, and the disappearance of privacy that “calls to mind The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood [and] Blindness by José Saramago” (Alfaguara Prize Winner Citation). Ten long years have passed since war first broke out, and one couple still does not know the whereabouts of their children, or what their country is even fighting for. They follow orders and their lives go by simply, routinely, until—one day—a mute boy walks onto their property. When the authorities announce that the area needs to be evacuated and that everyone must relocate to “the transparent city,” the three leave together. At first, the city proves to be a paradise: a stunning glass dome of endless highways, buildings, trains, and markets. Everything its inhabitants need is provided to them—food, protection, shelter—and the family quickly, unquestioningly, settles into their new life. But, soon, a sinister underlay begins to emerge. Neither secrets nor walls are permitted here, and strict order, authoritarian calm, and transparency must always reign supreme. In a society in which everything private is public, the most chilling portent of our future emerges. Surrender is an urgent novel about dignity and rebellion and the lengths we go to preserve love, hope, and humanity."Loriga envisions in this gripping tale an unsettling dystopia in which all secrets are forbidden...This memorable page-turner will appeal to fans of Brave New World."—Publishers Weekly

  THE ENCHANTED GROVE OF LUMINA 
  Book 2 of 6 – The Shadow of Noctis. 
  Following on from Book 1 – The Kingdom of Solara - Love Triumphs 
  King Voltar of the neighbouring Kingdom of Noctis has been insulted as he was promised his son Prince Theron would by married to Princess Elara daughter by King Oberon of Solara.  
  King Voltar declares war on Solara and initially overwhelms the lesser army but Queen Titania's fairy army comes to the rescue and defeats the attackers. 
  In the process she is wounded and King Oberon swiftly comes to her aid despite their long term estrangement and they both realise they still love each other and the two tribes become as one again. 
  This is the second of six audiobooks in the series, the others will become available in the very near future and I do hope you enjoy this second installment, and it's only $3, all subsequent will remain at that price as I would not like price to be a barrier to your enjoyment. 
  I have worked very hard and meticulously to provide you with an enjoyable experience, the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 minutes sets the scene, so to speak, harp, violin, glockenspiel in a classical but uplifting form. The closing music ends the tale on a more restrained note and at about 2 minutes and the same musical instruments but more dreamy and ethereal effect.  
  The story itself runs to about 13 minutes is is narrated in my own voice.  
  I do hope you and your family, if applicable, enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come!
