Someone with a bit of wisdom might have told Fable to forget her father. Forget his words and his offers. Forget everything of the past and find a way to survive now, a simple life to live. West tells Fable that he named his ship Marigoldafter his and Willa’s sister, who died when she was four years old. How did Fable end? Those may seem harsh lessons from a parent. But those are the things that have kept Fable alive for the last four years. She’s learned to make her way as a dredger: a diver who digs semi-valuable stones and abalone from the reef and exchanges them for a few coppers. And she’s learned to hide away what little treasure she may gain in the hope of someday putting this island of torment behind her.

Whenever she isn't writing, Adrienne can be found enjoying yoga, going for walks in the woods, sipping wine over long dinners, visiting her favorite art museums, or planning her next travel adventure. Saint is one of the most powerful traders in the Narrows. And as such, the sea was the only life that young Fable ever knew. But that all changed the day after her mother’s death. Saint promptly took Fable to a small island filled with thieves and cutthroats and abandoned her there.

Adrienne loves all kinds of books, some of which include: “Harry Potter”, “Six of Crows”, “Little Women”, and “The Glass Castle”.The crew and others drink a rye-derived beverage on occasion. And in some cases, they get quite tipsy from it. A disappointed Fable drinks to excess one night and gets drunk to the point of passing out. She pays the painful physical price the next day. West’s crew consists of Willa (who we later find out is West’s sister), Hamish, Paj, and Auster. At first, no one trusts her, but she pulls her weight onboard the ship, and they slowly begin to trust her more.
