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.

Great addition to the series.

I did not care for a lot of the newer characters, specifically the queen. It's also jarring how generic the King is portrayed.
the narrator does not appear to have played any of the games so the voices given for some characters were very off.
50/50

Absolutely Loathed this Book

So I just recently replayed Fable III and was interested in this book when I discovered it, but was ultimately disappointed. It's not the worst thing ever, but as someone who likes the series and was interested in both hearing about what happened to the Fable III hero in the future, as well as seeing how it tied into Gabriel's story, it was disappointing on both fronts.
On the first front, there was an A and B storyline that relates to the characters in Fable III. In the A plot, the more interesting part of the book, the Hero travels to another kingdom and faces some interesting odds, but ultimately he fails and just gives up, while I, the reader who likes the series and knows how strong this character is, am just completely baffled as to how he came to that conclusion. Also his friends imply they'll come back, but it never shows that. It ends on a cliffhanger with neither a sequel having ever been planned, nor an explanation in the game this supposedly leads into. Also, the B plot was just about the Hero's wife, who is just an unlikable character, and again, has no resolution to her story. Supposedly this ties into Fable: The Journey, but it really doesn't, beyond mentioning the protagonist of that game very briefly. In fact, the book never clearly states how he ties into the main story. Maybe he's thinking about these events? Either way, it's not clear. I'm not a huge stickler for staying to the series lore, or even looking for an amazing story experience, but this book fails to deliver a fraction of that.
Not Worth It, Even for Fable Fans
