Publisher's summary

New York Times bestselling author Adrienne Young returns to the world of The Narrows with Saint, a captivating prequel to Fable and Namesake.

As a boy, Elias learned the hard way what happens when you don’t heed the old tales.

Nine years after his lack of superstition got his father killed, he’s grown into a young man of piety, with a deep reverence for the hallowed sea and her fickle favor. As stories of the fisherman’s son who has managed to escape the most deadly of storms spreads from port to port, his devotion to the myths and creeds has given him the reputation of the luckiest bastard to sail the Narrows.

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.

He is dangerously close to repeating his mistakes and he’s seen first hand how vicious the jealous sea can be. If he’s going to survive her retribution, he will have to decide which he wants more, the love of the girl who could change their shifting world, or the sacred beliefs that earned him the name that he’s known for—Saint.

So enticing!

Great story! Couldn’t listen fast enough!!! More please 😃 great author can’t get enough from her

great Prequel Need more

Adrienne does a great job with this prequel but need to hear more of Saint and Isolde there is still so much more that we need to this story. I see people commenting on how it felt short or whatever if you are a fan of her writing you will love this and if you like her Fable series this is your cup of tea twist at the end that I need to get closure. I need more Saint I patiently waited for this I will patiently wait for part 2 as long as you write it

I’m so sad it’s over

I’ve loved Fable, Namesake, and now Saint! So good and I love her writing. The narration on this book was so good.

We need West’s story!

I personally think that we need a story about west and his back story cause that would be pretty cool also one day hopefully this could be turned into a show or movie!! :)

Love

I loved the prequel!! I finished it in 2 days. I really hope that she continues this series!

makes me want to listen to the whole series again

Loved this book, even knowing what happens with the characters later in the series, it's amazing.

What an adventure!

Wow. I loved this book. It was a wonderful surprise to read. Adventurous, tricky, lots of secrets. Wonderful characters. I can't wait to read Fable. I hope they make a sprayed edge paperback copy of this one to match Fable and Namesake. Excellent narration.

Great Prequel

I didn’t want this to end. Young handles the story of Isolde and Saint beautifully. Satisfying twists and turns and one big shock towards the end that I am still trying to accept. Very curious to see what Young has planned since this is #0.5 in the Fable series.

Great Prequel!

I wanted more about Isolde's fate and how it happened :( Love these characters! Hoping somehow she's still out there!

So good it hurts

Young does it again! I don’t usually like preludes. And I had no fondness for Saint’s character in the first book. But this was stellar! And what a chilling ending. Well done.
