A place in the Narrows

The sea is both Fable’s home and the force shaping her struggle for independence. After years of surviving alone on an island, she sets out with trader West to find the father who left her behind and claim a place beside him and his crew. Their crossing brings her into the dangers of a trading world marked by rivalries, where trust is uncertain and survival depends on skills she learned from her mother. The setup combines a search for family and belonging with maritime adventure, while placing a young woman in a world described as built for men.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in action-and-adventure fiction.
  • Readers who enjoy maritime settings and stories about survival and family.

Book overview

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.

Fable takes you on a spectacular journey filled with romance, intrigue and adventure.
