Still Nine

It is a new start for New England. It is its own country and ruled by a group called Ceden. Ceden forces people to side with them, practice their religion, and be loyal to only them. Everybody likes it. Or so they think.

There is a separate group who is against Ceden that, surprisingly, is very small (maybe because it's illegal, but you'll never know). Everyone against Ceden was in that group. Except, well, her.

Vaira Deline, a thirteen year old girl who lost her parents at nine, is against both groups. She has made it far, even buying an apartment, but she is still lost in the world of possibilities that Ceden gives her. Living as a thief to keep her life and her property, Vaira struggles with teenage issues, possible killers, and maybe, just maybe, finding love.
