No. 9—HEIRESS OF NOWHERE BY STACEY LEE

In this atmospheric historical gothic mystery, an orphan must uncover the truth behind a killing that may have come from the sea. When suspicion falls on both her and the orcas she loves, she is forced into a race to clear her name. Richly imagined and quietly haunting, this is a story about belonging, loyalty and being misunderstood.
