Fable

Product Information

That was all he had to offer. And in the four hard years since, Fable has struggled to fulfill his words in a nasty world where every good thing you gain is stolen from you, and every precious morsel of food must be protected or hidden. I’d made more coin off the traders on the Marigold in the last three months with this stash than I had in the last two years altogether. Another few weeks and I’d never have to dive these reefs again. Adrienne’s best ideas come to her while she is driving. The idea for her first novel, “Sky in the Deep” came while she was driving during a rain storm while she drove on a country road and Laurel’s “Into the Hills” was playing. Adrienne pulled the car over to the road, scribbled some notes on a torn envelope, and drove home. She called up her critique partner, and that was all it took.

There’s use of the word “b–tard,” but nothing else that might be considered typically “sailor worthy.”Because you weren’t made for this world, Fable,” he repeated and stepped into a small skiff to sail away. “You make me a promise and I’ll give you one. Survive. Get yourself off this island And the next time I see you, I’ll give you what is yours.” They survive and arrive in Ceros. Fable goes to Saint’s office and waits for him there.

Fable Quotes by Adrienne Young - Goodreads Fable Quotes by Adrienne Young - Goodreads

The crew and others drink a rye-derived beverage on occasion. And in some cases, they get quite tipsy from it. A disappointed Fable drinks to excess one night and gets drunk to the point of passing out. She pays the painful physical price the next day. Raised to be a warrior, seventeen-year-old Eelyn fights alongside her Aska clansmen in an ancient, rivalry against the Riki clan. Her life is brutal but simple: fight and survive. Until the day she sees the impossible on the battlefield―her brother, fighting with the enemy―the brother she watched die five years ago. Once the sun goes down, the sweater gets put on, and the coffee is poured, and away she goes. She follows the breadcrumbs of whatever is waiting for her to chisel it out of the word storm that is perpetually swirling in her head. Fable runs into Zola in a tavern, and he tries to talk her into joining his crew. She refuses, and he hints that West won’t be sailing much longer.The humor left his eyes when they found mine again, and I clenched my teeth, trying not to let the twitch at the corner of my mouth show. It had been four years since the day I was dumped on the blazing hot beach and left to fend for myself. Forced to scrape hulls in exchange for rotten fish when I was starving, and beaten for diving in another dredger’s claimed territory again and again. I’d seen my fair share of violence on Jeval, but I’d managed to keep out of Koy’s way until now. Catching his notice was a very dangerous place to be.

Those may seem harsh lessons from a parent. But those are the things that have kept Fable alive for the last four years. She’s learned to make her way as a dredger: a diver who digs semi-valuable stones and abalone from the reef and exchanges them for a few coppers. And she’s learned to hide away what little treasure she may gain in the hope of someday putting this island of torment behind her. 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. She was born and raised in the state of Texas and became a California girl. She lives with her four kids and her husband (who makes documentary films, and together, they all take in the rays of the California sun). 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.A vividly drawn maritime setting, dramatic sea dives and daring rescues, not one but two formidable villains, and a swoony romance make this a treat for seafarers and landlubbers alike." - The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books Author Adrienne Young writes novels from the genre of young adult fantasy, whose debut novel, called “Sky in the Deep” was released in the year 2018. It was named one of the most anticipated young adult books of the year 2018. He laughed, shaking his head. “Abalone,” he repeated. He was younger than most of the dredgers on Jeval, his toasted skin not yet wrinkled and spotted white from the long days in the sun. But he’d earned his place among them tenfold by stealing enough coin to buy the skiff and start his own ferrying trade. I looked over his head to the barrier islands, where the masts of trading ships tipped and swayed in the rough wind. The Marigold wasn’t there yet, but by sunrise, she would be. I pulled the coin from my purse and, with gritted teeth, dropped it into Koy’s palm. By now, he’d made so much copper off me that I’d practically paid for half of his skiff. She finds writing to be a kind of sanctuary for a soul that is solitary, as it is a chance to leave this life here and tell someone else’s story. Whether it is fact or fiction. She finds that she is transfixed while she creates a fantasy world’s walls and the heroes that make up the world with her laptop’s keys.

Now, he’s mere days away from getting everything his father ever dreamed for him: a ship of his own, a crew, and a license that names him as one of the first Narrows-born traders. But when a young dredger from the Unnamed Sea with more than one secret crosses his path, Elias’ faith will be tested like never before. The greater the pull he feels toward her, the farther he drifts from the things he’s spent the last three years working for. Why?” Young Fable croaked when her father put a firm hand on her shoulder and said that she was staying behind, alone, on that horrible little island. Someone with a bit of wisdom might have told Fable to forget her father. Forget his words and his offers. Forget everything of the past and find a way to survive now, a simple life to live. Besides those last fateful words, Saint had also given Fable, however, five rules to live by: rules she had been reciting from the time she was big enough to climb into the masts with her mother.As the daughter of the most powerful trader in the Narrows, the sea is the only home seventeen-year-old Fable has ever known.
