About this audiobook
Around the Globe: The Great Nectar War is a Poetic Cinema fable about power, greed, truth, memory, and what happens when the natural world refuses to be controlled.
When a mysterious blue, gold, and white flower appears, the kingdoms become nervous. Bees want to regulate it. Rats want to profit from it. Hornets want to control it. News networks turn it into a crisis. But Amara, Azure, and a growing number of creatures begin asking a dangerous question: Why?
From engineered flowers and purchased rain to secret intelligence files, endless screens, and the Garden Without Borders, a struggle for Golden Nectar becomes something much larger—a battle over who controls resources, information, and memory.
A layered adventure for children, teens, and adults about questioning systems, rediscovering community, and remembering that life was meant to be lived—not controlled.
