Adrienne Young

Adrienne Young is the New York Times and internationally bestselling author of the Sky and Sea duology, the Fable series, and Spells for Forgetting.

Adrienne Young was born in Texas. In her twenties, she moved to California to be near her boyfriend, whom she eventually married. The couple spent 15 vibrant years in the bustling state of California before moving to North Carolina in 2021.

Her journey to becoming an author began when she mustered the courage at 25 to pursue her childhood dream of writing. In 2018, she sold her first novel, Sky in the Deep, which focused on young adult themes, marking the beginning of her writing career.

Sky in the Deep follows the tale of Eelyn, a young warrior whose life is upended when she witnesses her supposedly deceased brother fighting for the enemy on the battlefield.

The first Fable novel in the YA series was published in 2020, captivating readers with its enthralling story about a resilient girl abandoned on a perilous island by her father. perilous

Fable's quest to reunite with her father and find her place in the challenging world around her struck a chord with readers, offering a refreshing take on the realm of YA fiction with its feminist pirate narrative.

In 2022, Young's fantasy novel Spells for Forgetting delves into the enthralling tale of Emery Blackwood, whose quiet existence on the misty, folklore-laden shores of Saoirse Island.

In addition to writing, Adrienne Young enjoys yoga, nature walks, and travelling.

Adrienne Young lives in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina.

“I don’t belong to you.”

“Yes, you do.” He pulled the hair back out of my face so he could look at me. “Like I belong to you.”
Snowhas quoted2 years ago
And I didn’t want to admit that West looked different to me now. That he looked more like my father.

He touched my face, fingertips sliding into my hair.

I didn’t know what he’d done in the Narrows, trying to find me. But the weight of it was heavy on him. He was darkened with it. In that moment, I only wanted to feel his rough hands on my skin and swallow the air around him until I could taste him on my tongue. To feel as if I were hidden in his shadow.

His face lowered until his mouth hovered over mine, and he kissed me so gently that the burn of tears instantly erupted behind my eyes. My hands moved down the shape of his back and he leaned into me, inhaling deeply, as if he was pulling the warmth of me inside of him. I put what Clove told me out of my mind, closing my eyes and imagining that we were in the lantern light of West’s quarters on the Marigold.

His teeth slipped over my bottom lip and the sting resurfaced from where the skin was still healing. But I didn’t care. I kissed him again and his hands reached for the skirts, pulling them up until I could feel his fingers on my legs. His touch dragged up, and when his hand wrapped around the stitches in my thigh, I winced, hissing.

West pulled away from me suddenly, his eyes running over my face.
