  "Schulman delivers the known world in startling new sounds, colours, tastes and smells."—New York Times Sunday Book Review
  It is 1965 and Cora, a deaf young woman, buys a one-way ticket to the island of St Thomas, where she discovers four dolphins held in captivity, part of an experiment led by an obsessive Dr Bloom. Drawn by a strong connection to the dolphins, untrained Cora falls in with the scientists to protect the animals.
  Recognising Cora's knack for communication, Bloom uses her for what will turn into one of the most fascinating experiments in modern science: an attempt to teach the dolphins human language.
  As the experiment progresses, Cora forges a remarkable bond with the creatures that leads to a clash with the male-dominated world of science, threatening to engulf the experiment as Cora's fight to save the dolphins becomes a battle to save herself.
  For fans of Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus.

  The King of Tresterville is a tyrant and no one has felt his wrath more than his music-loving daughter Lilinova. When the Dark Duke, the mysterious ruler of a neighboring kingdom, invades Tresterville, Lilinova is accidentally killed in her  
  father’s place, learning a terrible truth and catching a glimpse of the Dark Duke himself before she dies. 
   
  Except somehow, Lilinova wakes up from death, three days before the start of the Dark Duke’s siege. Armed with this knowledge, she disguises herself as a traveling musician, steals a horse, and rides off, determined to somehow save her kingdom  
  and her life. Unfortunately, the princess is captured on the road by none other than the Dark Duke. But he isn’t quite the nefarious presence she expected, and he seems intrigued by her—especially after he hears her sing. 
   
  The Duke brings Lilinova home to his realm, Neilsland, and the closer the pair grows, the more Lilinova regrets her lies to him. When she hears that her tyrannical father is sending his army to find his “missing princess,” she realizes the  
  Duke is in danger. Can Lilinova save the man she’s grown to love from the father who has always hated her? And once the Duke finds out her deception, will he even love her back?

  When our sun suddenly goes supernova, scorching the Earth and driving humanity to the brink of extinction, the only hope for surviving "The Burning" seems to be the totalitarian Under-Law Nations, or ULN, which forces its citizens into lifelong servitude for the slim chance at a seat on their Lifeboats, generational ships launched annually toward Alpha, the nearest star with potentially habitable worlds. 
  But Quinn Sandlin, founder of the rogue faction Project Atlas, has a different idea: bring the Earth with us to Alpha, saving not just those deemed worthy by the ULN, but all who have endured through The Burning. From this comes the Daybreaker, whose onboard Gravity Drive allows it to "tow" the planet via the force of a man-made black hole. As the ship must also act as a Second Sun along the precarious fifty-year voyage, the only source of heat and light between stars, Quinn and their crew must constantly fight to maintain the Daybreaker at all costs, as should it fail the Earth and its few remaining inhabitants will freeze in mere minutes. 
  While the launch of the Daybreaker is met with the wrath of the ULN, an uneasy standoff endures six months into the journey... until an unsettling discovery in deep space threatens both the ship and the planet in its wake.
