Among Thieves (The Constriction World #1)

Recommended for readers aged 14+

Red-haired and desperate, Fable is only seventeen, but she has already faced challenges far beyond her years. Her mother died before her eyes during a terrible shipwreck caused by a storm. Her father, a famous merchant, cynically abandoned her on an island the very next day, amidst dangerous male thieves. He told Fable that she was too good for his world, but if Fable survived and managed to escape the island, he would give her what she deserved.

Fable searches the ocean reefs for jewels she can sell to leave the island. To do this, Fable has to turn to a young merchant named West for help. She doesn't know who her father has become. And West is a completely different person than he tries to appear. On their joint journey, they will have to endure relentless storms and battles, the revenge of thieves and breathtaking adventures, and even the feelings that begin to blossom between the two. And most importantly - to survive. And this is only the first part of an exciting duology that will stir the imagination of any reader.
