Fable
by Adrienne Young
Abandoned on a desolate island of thieves after the tragic death of her mother, Fable is determined to find a way back to her powerful trader father to prove her worth and earn her inheritance. Enlisting the begrudging help of a young trader and his motley crew, she has finally found her way off the island and unknowingly stepped into a treacherous position as her saviors have secrets of their own. As she navigates the world of trade in the Narrows, filled with danger, deception, and malice, she soon realizes her destiny may not lie where she expected and the home she has longed for is closer than she ever imagined.

I picked this up at the recommendation of MANY people, both friends and those on social media and not only is it an eye catching cover but it's a captivating story. The author quickly immerses us into a world where most life is spent on the sea or near it and most commerce is based around ship trade and the wealth of its depths. Our heroine takes us deep into the ocean to experience its ebbs and flows, its shadows and columns of light, its creatures and treasures, as well as into the perilous world of trading where greed and cunning thrive. I loved the descriptions of the sea when Fable was diving and the insight into the running of a ship with the different but equally important roles. It's a kind of world I haven't visited in awhile and Young certainly does a great job at pulling you in.

Fable's tale has you captivated from the very beginning, with the mystery of her past and her abandonment hanging over her head, as well as the riddle of West's unexpected enterprise and secretive crew. Because Fable has been separated from this world for so long, we re-experience it with her, mixed her own childhood nostalgia, sorrow over the loss of her mother, and desperation to gain the love of her formidable father, Saint. Her journey is one of adventure and danger, hope and romance, and an unexpected ending that will have you picking up the sequel immediately after putting this one down.
