The Dark Shore

Q: Do I have to buy the ebook to participate in a book club?

No, you don’t have to buy the ebook to participate, but we do recommend it to get the most out of your club. There are several premium social reading features that are only available when you buy the ebook, like annotations, reactions, comment threads, resources, discussion prompts, and more, all embedded right in the text. It’s a unique and immersive way to read.

Q: Why can’t I buy the ebook on the app?

It’s annoying, we know. App store rules prevent us from selling directly in the app, so for now you can only purchase ebooks on our website. Don’t worry: when you purchase an ebook on the web, it’s automatically added to your bookshelf in the app.

Q: How is Fable’s reader different from Kindle?

Kindle is a straightforward e-reader; Fable is an interactive e-reader that includes social features inside the ebooks. When you read an ebook on Fable, you can see and react to the text with others in real time. Start a discussion, share highlights and quotes, add emoji reactions—all of it lives right inside the book. It’s hard to explain and easy to see, so we recommend reading the free sample in one of our most active clubs to get a feel for it.

Q: Do you sell physical books too?

We do not sell physical books at this time. Wish we did? Let us know why here!

Q: Are book clubs free to join on Fable?

Most of our clubs are completely free to join. The only exceptions are clubs marked as “Premium” or “Career Development,” which do require a fee. You can find out more on each club’s detail page.

Q: How do I start a book club with this book on Fable?

The first step is to download the Fable app. From there, you’ll be able to create your own private or public book club and invite others to read with you. Once your club is created, click on the plus sign under “Currently reading” and search for this book to add it to your club.

Publisher Description

The Dark Shore, the second novel in Kevin Emerson’s Atlanteans series, continues the story of Owen Parker, one of the powerful descendants of the highly advanced Atlantean race.

Owen, Lilly and Leech have escaped Camp Eden, but the next step on their journey to find Atlantis and protect it from Paul and Project Elysium involves crossing the perilous wastelands of a wrecked planet. And unlike in EdenWest, where bloody truths were kept hidden beneath the surface, out here, the horrors live bright beneath the poisonous sun.

With treachery at every turn, Owen has no choice but to bring his wounded clan to the dark shores of Desenna, the city built from the ashes of EdenSouth, where the followers of Heliad-7 dwell. Desenna’s blood-soaked walls may hold the key to Owen’s journey in the form of the third Atlantean, as well as a deeper understanding of the true purpose of the Three, but there are also secrets lurking in the shadows, waiting to be unleashed, and once they rise, there may be no escape.

The Dark Shore combines sizzling romance, action, adventure, and powerful scenes of physical and emotional sacrifice in a way that is sure to satisfy lovers of dystopian fiction in the vein of The Maze Runner trilogy.

“*Huge thanks to Kevin Emerson and Katherine Tegen Books for sending me a copy of this book* I am so excited to be part of the blog tour for this book. If you remember, I LOVED the first book, The Lost Code. I was so excited about the world that Kevin Emerson envisioned. I felt like the time between books was never going to end. I had The Dark Shore on my auto-buy list, so I was absolutely going to get my hands on a copy. I NEEDED to get back into this world and find out what happened to Owen...and others.. Well, a few weeks ago, Kevin contacted me about being part of the tour, so of course I said yes! I am REALLY enthusiastic about this series, so I'm going to do what I can to promote it. We made arrangements for the publisher to send an ARC out. WOO! Imagine my surprise and TOTAL DELIGHT when a finished copy arrived instead. I may have jumped around a little bit. Or a lot. This is my very first publisher-sent finished copy! I kind of feel all tingly inside. ANYWAY. I jumped right in to the book. It wasn't hard to get sucked back into the terrifying post-apocalyptic world Emerson created. I'm actually kind of glad that it was overcast the entire time I was reading...the threat of RAD burns/poisoning was real enough to me that I felt the need to be protected! There were some super cool images right from the start - just imagine pyrocumulus clouds. There wasn't much accompanying description, but then again, there wasn't a need for it. I could TOTALLY picture what these clouds would look like. I felt like looking on Google to see if there were images out there. They seemed like things that could really BE things. The landscape is so desolate and baked. I swear I could feel my throat parching as I read and I think I probably drank more water during this book than in the preceding three weeks put together. I'm not even kidding. I could just FEEL it, you know? The rare breeze became a reality every time it floated by. I enjoyed following Owen through the twists and turns he faced in this book, from wondering how he was going to get himself and his friends to safety, to finding things out that would change things for him like he never thought possible. There were parts when I just wanted to gather him up for a hug, and times when I wanted to smack him upside the head. (Really, Owen?!) That, to me, is the mark of a strong character. I've never really related at all to male MCs, but Owen is definitely an exception. He's fantastic. And that ending...THAT ENDING!! Totally came out of left field and blindsided me. I had NO IDEA *THAT* was even an option!!! *mind blown* I really, really, really loved this book. This series has become a favorite, and it's one that I highly recommend. It's perfect for your teenage (older teenagers probably) reluctant readers, male or female. It's the kind of series that will suck them in and have them wanting MORE BOOKS. There's never anything wrong with that! Seriously, if you have a chance (and in a minute, I am going to give you one, so KEEP READING), pick this series up and READ IT RIGHT NOW. It's 4.5 Eiffel Towers for me. Content Advisory: Language: Moderate Violence: Heavyish Sexuality: Moderate”
