Fable

Product Information

The world of the Narrows is a dark and violent place. People are slashed or stabbed by small knives. A man is bound and put in a trunk, then thrown overboard to drown. We hear of someone hanging himself and of a woman having her face scarred by a red-hot knife blade. And there’s a constant sense of threat and danger that hangs in the air around the various seaports. Welcome to a world made dangerous by the sea and by those who wish to profit from it. Where a young girl must find her place and her family while trying to survive in a world built for men. Zola hears about the sails and sends men to burn the Marigold. It barely makes it away from the shores of Ceros unscathed. But her father’s rivalries and the dangers of his trading enterprise have only multiplied since she last saw him and Fable soon finds that West isn't who he seems. Together, they will have to survive more than the treacherous storms that haunt the Narrows if they're going to stay alive. As the daughter of the most powerful trader in the Narrows, the sea is the only home seventeen-year-old Fable has ever known. It s been four years since the night she watched her mother drown during an unforgiving storm. The next day her father abandoned her on a legendary island filled with thieves and little food. To survive she must keep to herself, learn to trust no one and rely on the unique skills her mother taught her. The only thing that keeps her going is the goal of getting off the island, finding her father and demanding her rightful place beside him and his crew. To do so Fable enlists the help of a young trader named West to get her off the island and across the Narrows to her father.

Fable Quotes by Adrienne Young - Goodreads Fable Quotes by Adrienne Young - Goodreads

Nice jump, Fable.” Koy took hold of the tiller, his gaze on the horizon as he steered us toward the south reef. “Didn’t know you were coming.”

Because you weren’t made for this world, Fable,” he repeated and stepped into a small skiff to sail away. “You make me a promise and I’ll give you one. Survive. Get yourself off this island And the next time I see you, I’ll give you what is yours.” Pasáže medzi Fable a posádkou hlavného hrdinu boli fajn, no po celej knihe mám dojem, že to nebolo úplne detailne prepracované a z príbehu si odnášam jedine spomienku na predstavy o mori a potápaní spoločne s koncom. Samotný záver bol výborný a primäl ma pustiť sa do nasledujúcej časti, ktorá sa mi číta o dosť pomalšie ako prvá kniha. No o nej zas nabudúce. Now, he’s mere days away from getting everything his father ever dreamed for him: a ship of his own, a crew, and a license that names him as one of the first Narrows-born traders. But when a young dredger from the Unnamed Sea with more than one secret crosses his path, Elias’ faith will be tested like never before. The greater the pull he feels toward her, the farther he drifts from the things he’s spent the last three years working for. Koncom vlaňajška obletela kniha Fable slovenský bookstagram. Krásna obálka a pozitívne ohlasy zlákali na knihu aj mňa.

Author Adrienne Young writes novels from the genre of young adult fantasy, whose debut novel, called “Sky in the Deep” was released in the year 2018. It was named one of the most anticipated young adult books of the year 2018. The crew and others drink a rye-derived beverage on occasion. And in some cases, they get quite tipsy from it. A disappointed Fable drinks to excess one night and gets drunk to the point of passing out. She pays the painful physical price the next day. Fable tells the others that she will be searching for Saint on Ceros, but she doesn’t tell them that he is her father. They don’t believe he will take her on. Fable eventually discovers that the Merigoldis a shadow ship that belongs to Saint. West is deep in debt to the man. The crew performs side jobs to try to raise money. Adrienne’s best ideas come to her while she is driving. The idea for her first novel, “Sky in the Deep” came while she was driving during a rain storm while she drove on a country road and Laurel’s “Into the Hills” was playing. Adrienne pulled the car over to the road, scribbled some notes on a torn envelope, and drove home. She called up her critique partner, and that was all it took. As the daughter of the most powerful trader in the Narrows, the sea is the only home seventeen-year-old Fable has ever known. It s been four years since the night she watched her mother drown during an unforgiving storm. The next day her father abandoned her on a legendary island filled with thieves and little food.She finds writing to be a kind of sanctuary for a soul that is solitary, as it is a chance to leave this life here and tell someone else’s story. Whether it is fact or fiction. She finds that she is transfixed while she creates a fantasy world’s walls and the heroes that make up the world with her laptop’s keys. A dark maritime fantasy...immersive...and rich in sensory details. For readers who can’t get enough of strong female protagonists..." - Kirkus
