Instead she stumbles upon a critically endangered species of Orkney and Shetland legend hiding in plain sight among the refugees.</p><p>They trust that she can help restore their kind despite storms aftershocks and policy decisions way beyond her pay grade. Increasingly at home on the shores of their life-giving sea she may have found her calling; true love might not be a mere children's story either.
