Publisher Description

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES

A REESE WITHERSPOON x HELLO SUNSHINE BOOK CLUB YA PICK


Filled with all of the action, emotion, and lyrical writing that brought readers to Sky in the Deep, New York Times bestselling author Adrienne Young returns with Fable, the first book in this new captivating duology.

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.

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.

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.

Fable takes you on a spectacular journey filled with romance, intrigue and adventure.

Slightly Smiling Face“The plot twist at the end omfg. I finished this book so fast omfg. The way fable thought about her father- the love hate feeling I totally loved that. Willa is a damn good sister and the crew is just mwah. And the UNDERWATER KISS OMFG.”

Thumbs Up“I really enjoyed the vibe of Fable, give me a nice Pirate (errr sea trader) story any day. I rooted for Fable finding her place in this place in this world. There’s a romantic element that felt like it came out of nowhere and didn’t work for me. I’m also not a fan of the trope of “my dad’s an evil man but my dead mom was so pure and loved him so we’re always connected” but that seems to happen more in YA Fantasy. The ending was just set up for book two so be warned the ending isn’t an ending.”

Thinking Face“Overall, I really enjoyed the plot and every twist in it. Usually I can predict what’s coming, but Adrienne took me off guard a few times. And the end!! What a cliffhanger 🙈😆 The only thing I was uncomfortable with was the relationship between Auster/Paj and the small bit of language. I really want to read Namesake now!”
