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.

*SPOILER ALERT*
I have never been more excited for a fade to black moment in my LIFE! Hear me out. It wasn't the fade to black, but the fact that there was a scene and there were pirates. I needed it for a challenge and this book came in clutch at the end of the month!
It helped that I really enjoyed it. I love that there's magic in minerals in this world! I am really hoping to get some more of that in the next book. We know that the gems are super valuable in this book, but we don't find much out about the mechanics of the magic. And I'm hoping that we do...
The second that West started talking about "I can't care about anyone else," I knew he was already in trouble! And sure enough, he was already in love with Fable. And I can't blame him! This woman is amazing. And I'm going to be very upset if Saint is right about West not being who she thinks he is.
The cliffhanger at the end of this book was rough! I have to wait a whole night to start the next book and it feels very rude! But effective to get me to read the next book..
