Adrienne Young Knihy

Adrienne Young, autorka úspešnej série Fable, sa vracia do sveta Úžin s tajomným príbehom SvätecElias sa ešte ako malý chlapec na vlastnej koži presvedčil, čo sa stane, keď nedáva pozor na to, čo sa hovorí v starých príbehoch.O deväť rokov neskôr sa z prístavu do prístavu šíria príbehy o synovi rybára, ktorý dokáže vyviaznuť aj z tých najdesivejších búrok, jeho oddanosť mýtom a viere mu prináša povesť sviniara, ktorý má z plavieb Úžinami nesmiernu radosť. Teraz Eliasa delí len pár dní od toho, aby získal všetko, o čom kedysi jeho nebohý otec sníval: vlastnú loď, posádku a obchodnú licenciu, vďaka ktorej sa má stať jedným z prvých kupcov pochádzajúcich z Úžin. No keď mu skríži cestu mladá hľadačka z Bezmenného mora, ktorá skrýva viac než len jedno tajomstvo, Eliasova viera podstúpi skúšku, o akej sa mu ani nesnívalo.Čím viac ho to k nej ťahá, tým viac sa vzďaľuje od všetkého, na čom počas posledných troch rokov tak tvrdo pracoval. Elias je nebezpečne blízko k tomu, aby zopakoval svoje chyby a aby na vlastné oči opäť videl, aké kruté dokáže byť more zaplavené žiarlivosťou.Ak má prežiť zaslúžený trest, ktorý si preňho more nachystalo, bude sa musieť rozhodnúť, čo chce viac – lásku dievčaťa, ktoré má moc zmeniť ich rozpadajúci sa svet, alebo posvätnú vieru, ktorá mu vyslúžila prezývku, pod ktorou ho všetci poznajú – Svätec.

Vitajte vo svete, ktorému vládnu nebezpečné more a ešte nebezpečnejší námorníci, bažiaci po bohatstve. Vo svete, kde si mladé dievča hľadá svoje miesto i rodinu, zatiaľ čo sa snaží prežiť medzi drsnými chlapmi. Ako dcéra najmocnejšieho kupca v Úžinách pozná sedemnásťročná Fable jediný domov - more. Už sú to však štyri roky, odkedy počas nemilosrdnej búrky prišla o matku. Na druhý deň ju otec opustil na neslávne známom ostrove, kde bolo priveľa zlodejov a primálo jedla. Aby prežila, musela sa vzchopiť, naučiť sa dôverovať svojim nezvyčajným schopnostiam. To jediné, čo ju drží pri živote, je túžba dostať sa z ostrova, aby našla svojho otca a dostala to, čo jej právom patrí. Pri úteku spoznáva mladého kupca menom West. Ak chce zostať nažive, musí čeliť oveľa väčším výzvam, než sú búrky, ktoré vládnu Úžinám.

Druhý diel románovej duológie Fable s názvom Menovkyňa je strhujúcim rozuzlením príbehu o mladej a neskrotnej dievčine, ktorá si hľadá miesto v drsnom svete kupcov. Keď sa Fable podarilo dostať loď Marigold spod nadvlády svojho otca, mohla spolu s jej posádkou začať odznova. Ich sloboda však netrvala dlho, pretože sa stali pešiakmi na šachovnici hrdloreza s neslávnou povesťou, Zolu, ktorý zajal Fable na svojej lodi. Fable dokonca zisťuje, že Clove, muž, ktorý ju vychovával a bol blízkym priate ľom jej otca, je kormidelníkom na tejto lodi. Aby sa Fable dostala späť do Úžin za Westom, musí pomôcť Zolovi spečatiť partnerstvo s Holanďankou. Táto mocná obchodníčka s drahými kameňmi je však aj niekým iným, než sa zdá. Ako sa Fable postupne ponára do sveta plného zrád a klamstiev, zisťuje, že tajomstvá, ktoré si jej matka vzala do hrobu, teraz ohrozujú tých, na ktorých jej záleží. Ak ich má zachrániť, musí riskovať všetko- vrátane mladíka, ktorého ľúbi, a domova, ktorý konečne našla. Jej jediným východiskom je použiť svoje schopnosti a mágiu na nájdenie polnočného kameňa– legendárneho drahokamu, ktorý možno ani neexistuje.
