Why read on Fable?
Publisher Description
The instant NEW YORK TIMES and USA TODAY bestseller!
A young warrior dreams of proving his worth in the elite Guardian Tournament, fighting not only for himself but the fate of everything he loves.
Sixteen-year-old Jun dreams of proving his worth as a warrior in the elite Guardian’s Tournament, held every six years to entrust the magical Scroll of Heaven to a new protector. Eager to prove his skills, Jun hopes that a win will restore his father’s pride—righting a horrible mistake that caused their banishment from his home, mother, and twin brother.
But Jun’s father strictly forbids him from participating. He believes there is no future in Jun honing his skills as a warrior, especially considering Jun is not breathmarked, born with a patch of dragon scales and blessed with special abilities like his twin. Determined to be the next Guardian, Jun stows away in the wagon of Chang and his daughter, Ren, performers on their way to the capital where the tournament will take place.
As Jun competes, he quickly realizes he may be fighting for not just a better life, but the fate of the country itself and the very survival of everyone he cares about.

“This book had the potential to be more. The story is clearly built as part of a series, so the story suffers from having a complete and satisfactory ending. The last half of the book gets too caught up in setting up future books, instead of actually focusing on providing all the goods in THIS book and telling a good story. The tournament seemed a little bit too rushed and predictable with a few good battles—but most battles missed the mark on execution. Characters are not memorable here. The stakes of the story are high, but the writing didn’t reflect it. I wish this had been more. The bones were surely there…”Heather

“I’m neutral about this a little. Yes, the writing is as spectacular as you’d expect it to be, the plot is quite interesting but the world-building was so confusing at first and I felt it could’ve been more fleshed out. The second half of this book was explosive to say the least and it’s why I’m now invested to know what will happen next.”About Shannon Lee
