The boy’s eyes glittered so strongly, presaging an imminent rupture of The Quietude. Lan was

turning back as their fates had inevitably been sealed off.

Centuries ago a catastrophe turned Linde into a hostile place; since then, the survivors have
learned to live in isolation within the boundaries of the Safe Limits. But, the planet is
constantly subjected to a change in shape and people are lost, never return. After a violent
planetary transformation, Lan, a courageous girl from Salvia clan, wakes up in the middle of
the desert, only to be rescued by her worst enemy.

A young man marked by a curse.
A village hiding the biggest secret ever to be kept.
A love as dangerous as it is impossible.
A world whose surface is forever undergoing changes… when getting lost is the equivalent of
death
.

Sounds like a great read doesn't it? At the moment it is written in Spanish, BUT CLICK HERE TO PETITION TO HAVE IT TRANSLATED TO ENGLISH.

It also has a truly awesome book trailer, and a making of the cover as well!
