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.
My Thoughts
I loved Adrienne Young’s Sky in the Deep, so I’m super
excited to see she has an actual series coming out. I think it’s only a duology,
but it still sounds good. I have mixed feelings on this cover, though. It’s
pretty, but it doesn’t give me a fantasy vibe, more of a contemporary feel. The
only fantasy aspect I can see on the cover is what might be the reflection of a
ship in her eye.
What book are you
waiting for this Wednesday?
