Namesake by Adrienne Young (Fable #2)

 In the previous novel, Fable, the young gem mage, and diver, has found a home on the Marigold with its helmsman, Wes and the crew. We left her as a rival takes her to an unknown fate.

In the sequel. Fable enters a larger game against her grandmother, a powerful gem trader beyond the Nameless Sea. She must also find a rare gemstone her mother had found and hidden from the greed within the kingdom. She must pit her wits against multiple characters, all who will use her as a setting stone to power and riches. One slip and she’ll find a resting spot at the bottom of the sea.

A frolicking delightful tale of the sea and the deadly forces both above and below the surface. A very satisfying ending to this tale.
