Mucho conozco al pueblo dominicano. Abandonado siempre a sus propias fuerzas, ha luchado siempre por su libertad, y siempre sus esfuerzos se han visto coronados por el éxito deseado. Puede por un momento ser dominado por los extraños, porque la sorpresa del acto que cambie su condición política, le embargue los medios de resistencia y acción; más pesado ese primer momento de estupor, se levantará como un solo hombre, obedeciendo a un solo pensamiento, para oponerse a quien pretenda arrebatarle su libertad, su independencia. Tomás Bobadilla
From the New York Times and international bestselling author of the Matched trilogy, Ally Condie, comes a brand new mysterious world!
Can you hear Atlantia breathing?
For as long as she can remember, Rio has dreamt of the sand and sky Above—of life beyond her underwater city of Atlantia. But in a single moment, all her plans for the future are thwarted when her twin sister, Bay, makes an unexpected decision, stranding Rio Below. Alone, ripped away from the last person who knew Rio’s true self—and the powerful siren voice she has long hidden—she has nothing left to lose.
Guided by a dangerous and unlikely mentor, Rio formulates a plan that leads to increasingly treacherous questions about her mother’s death, her own destiny, and the complex system constructed to govern the divide between land and sea. Her life and her city depend on Rio to listen to the voices of the past and to speak long-hidden truths.
Perfect for fans of the dystopian settings of The Hunger Games and Divergent, the gripping second installment of the Slated trilogy is a riveting psychological thriller set in a future where violent teens have their memory erased as an alternative to jail.
When Kyla was slated, her memory was erased for good.
Except it wasn’t.
Not completely.
She remembers years of working with Antigovernment Terrorists.
She remembers acts of violence against the Lorders.
But perhaps most important—she remembers Ben.
If he’s alive, Kyla’s about to play a dangerous game between the Lorders and the AGT.
Then again, every move in her new life is a gamble.
