Figlia del più potente trafficante dello Stretto, la giovane Fable ha conosciuto un solo luogo che possa chiamare "casa": una nave ormai colata a picco. Quattro anni prima ha visto la madre annegare durante una terribile tempesta; il giorno seguente il padre l'ha abbandonata su un'isola covo di furfanti. Per sopravvivere Fable ha dovuto imparare a badare a se stessa, senza fidarsi di nessuno e contando solo su ciò che sua madre le ha insegnato. A tenerla viva è il desiderio di lasciare l'isola, ritrovare il padre e rivendicare il proprio posto al suo fianco.

Fable, 17 ans, est la fille du marchand le plus puissant des Goulets près de la mer sans Nom. Pourtant, après la mort de sa mère au cours d’une tempête, son père l’a abandonnée sur une île peuplée de voleurs où elle a dû se battre pour survivre. Plongeuse, découvreuse de gemmes qu’elle revend pour assurer sa subsistance, Fable poursuit un but : quitter l’île et rejoindre son père afin d’obtenir son héritage, une place dans sa flotte. Pour cela elle doit gagner le continent où il a établi son comptoir commercial.

Fablehouse is a children’s home like no other. Housed in a crumbling mansion that perches on a cliff and backs on to ancient mysterious woodland, this is the home for many of Britain’s Brown Babies, children born to African-American GIs and white British women following the Second World War. Heather has already been through several children’s homes and is wary of Fablehouse and its unusual head teacher, Miss Isolde. But when children start acting strangely, Heather discovers a plot from a fae realm to infiltrate and overthrow the human world.

Aesop, an ancient Greek poet who was sold into slavery in the early sixth century B.C, relied on animal stories to convey his key points to his masters in court. Aesop's Fables are now classic, memorable morality plays in which amusing animal characters drive home thought-provoking morals to generations of listeners and modern day readers. They illustrate what was fundamental to Greek culture yet their appeal lies in logic we still understand.

Al centro di una rete di tradimenti e inganni, Fable scoprirà che i segreti portati da sua madre nella tomba stanno mettendo in pericolo le persone a cui tiene di più.
