Fable

Product Information

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.

The wind whipped around me as I stood, pulling strands of my dark auburn hair around my face. I took hold of the mast and leaned over the side, my eyes mapping the water as it raced beneath us. Fable has found a large vein of gemstone in the sea, and the other castaways become suspicious and plan to steal it. The sail snapped overhead as the wind caught it, jerking the skiff forward, and I found a place to sit between two leather-skinned dredgers. Pasáže medzi Fable a posádkou hlavného hrdinu boli fajn, no po celej knihe mám dojem, že to nebolo úplne detailne prepracované a z príbehu si odnášam jedine spomienku na predstavy o mori a potápaní spoločne s koncom. Samotný záver bol výborný a primäl ma pustiť sa do nasledujúcej časti, ktorá sa mi číta o dosť pomalšie ako prvá kniha. No o nej zas nabudúce.

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. She was the sun and the sea and the moon in one. She was the north star that pulled us to the shore.” The Storyteller's Workbook: An Inspirational, Interactive Guide to the Craft of Novel Writing (With: Isabel Ibañez) 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 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 world of the Narrows is a dark and violent place. People are slashed or stabbed by small knives. A man is bound and put in a trunk, then thrown overboard to drown. We hear of someone hanging himself and of a woman having her face scarred by a red-hot knife blade. And there’s a constant sense of threat and danger that hangs in the air around the various seaports. They take their fortune to Dern to trade for coppers. They do this carefully to try to avoid notice. Willa confides in Fable that she plans to leave the Marigoldand go home to Ceros. 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. There’s use of the word “b–tard,” but nothing else that might be considered typically “sailor worthy.”
