Saint

De: Adrienne Young

Narrado por: Ell Potter, Will Damron

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.

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

So enticing!

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

What An Adventure!

From start to finish, this story kept me captivated! I discovered this book and wanted more immediately then learned it's only a prequel in a series. Of course, I also devoured the other books in the series, but Saint is my absolute favorite. I truly wished we had a book about the time between this book and the beginning of Fable. The characters are so developed and well thought out, the story completely takes you into another world and time. Beautifully so. I have listened to this one well over 10 times. If only we had more Saint content!

Overall: Great story. Great narration. Great writing.

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!

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!! :)

Great story

This prequel ties up a bunch of loose threads from the other 2 in the series. Loved it!!!😊

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.

Excellent filling in of details

this is the story that needed to be told to understand the other 2 books. I'm going back to listen to them both again with the new info I jave now. I have already listened fable a few times bc I loved the narrator's voices. It took longer than I wanted to get used to Isolde's voice in this book. also, did they change the pronunciation of her name from Is-'ol-dee to Is- old? or was that just me? I didn't care for that. but that is truly my only true mark against this series. Excellent group of stories.
