Synopsis

The official prequel novel to the Xbox 360 videogame, Fable:™ The Journey
 
It’s been almost a decade since the events of Fable 3, when the Hero vanquished the threat across the sea and claimed his throne. As king he led Albion to an era of unprecedented peace and prosperity. But on the night of his wedding to his new queen, ominous word arrives: The darkness has returned.
 
Beyond a harrowing mountain pass, the exotic desert country Samarkand has been overrun by shadowy forces. Within the walls of its capital city, a mysterious usurper known only as the Empress has seized control. To protect his realm, the king must lead his most trusted allies into a strange land unknown to outsiders. As they forge ahead along Samarkand’s ancient Great Road, populated by undead terrors and fantastic creatures once believed to be the stuff of legend, the king is drawn ever closer to his greatest challenge yet.
 
But soon Albion is engulfed in a war of its own. As the darkness spreads, town by town, a treacherous force has infiltrated the queen’s circle. Now the fate of all that is good rests with a faint flicker of hope . . . that somewhere, somehow, heroes still do exist.

Goodreads review by LAWonder10 on August 22, 2013

The beginning of this book was quite confusing. It did not give a solid "lead" into the actual story. It took me reading it a few times too just ignore the first few pages and continue reading. It isn't until the very end it somewhat connects. As I continued to read, the plot began taking form. It c......more

Goodreads review by Josie on March 16, 2017

As someone who loves the Fable games, I was so excited to find this book at the store but almost as soon as I started reading it I was disappointed. First of all, I was a little disappointed that the author did not opt to have a female Queen as Fable 3, the game this book picks up after, allows the......more

Goodreads review by Shannon on May 28, 2021

As someone who has played the absolute hell out of Fable II and III, I had higher hopes for this book. Sadly, for a book so short, it often just plodded along, never quite seeming to reach any of the end goals in its plot and subplots. I also felt there was a lot of black and white going on in terms......more

For those who haven’t played Fable and decided to pick this book up, I can understand why you didn’t like it. For those who did play Fable and decided to pick this book up, I can still understand why you didn’t like it. The idea was there, but not executed very well. The plot feels rushed, so it’s ha......more

Goodreads review by Josh on November 17, 2023

This book ends on a cliffhanger that the games never answer. That may seem like a spoiler but it’s not, it’s just incredibly relevant and important if you plan to pick this up. Iloved The Balvarine Order, didn’t particularly enjoy Blood Ties and thought they rightfully changed author for this book.......more
