About this listen

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.

For 17-year-old Fable, the daughter of the most powerful trader in the Narrows, the sea is the only home she 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. 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.

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.

Critic reviews

'Young blends adventure and intrigue in this lush nautical duology opener, crafting a flinty world in which danger lurks at every turn and showing affection is a sign of weakness.' (Publishers Weekly)
'Compelling characters and taut emotion are the highlights of this engrossing novel.' (School Library Journal)
'In a brutal world, Fable shines as tenacious yet vulnerable, unafraid to do what she must to survive. This story caught me by the throat and refused to let go!' (Shelby Mahurin, New York Times bestselling author of Serpent & Dove)

a great adventure

Ooo this kept me on my toes. A fantastic found family pirate adventure that I just couldn't figure out what was going to happen next. Good pacing and a very interesting storyline. Cant wait to read the sequel I need answers.
