Orca Summer

The fascination for orcas and the highly important topic of animal welfare underlying this atmospheric love story set at the breathtaking Canadian west coast.
Svenja thought her summer had been over before it truly began. Stuck in a tiny costal town on Vancouver Island, Canada, with her unapproachable father she’d never met before, she’s bored out of her mind. That is until a little lonely orca appears out in the secluded bay and immediately draws her in. She’s not the only one interested in the whale, though. Alex, a marine biology student, wants to find out where the whale came from and why it is all on its own. Together, they try to get close to the orca – and get closer to each other in the process. Soon, however, their relationship is tested when the town gets flooded with interest groups thinking they know what’s best for the orca. After a perilous incident, the orca’s life is at stake. Will Svenja be able to save him, even if it means losing Alex?

Author

Sabine Giebken, born in 1979 in Munich, swapped ballet for riding lessons at the age of eight and henceforth dreamt of a horse of her own. When she was a child, she already wrote her first stories into her exercise books, which later became her first horse novels. After a degree in business administration and other occupational detours, she decided to turn her hobby into her profession. She lives in Bavaria and has two wild children, an affectionate dog, and a pretty confident Icelandic mare.
