Scavenge the Stars (Scavenge the Stars #1)

Scavenge the Stars by Tara Sim is the first book in her young adult fantasy series reimagining The Count of Monte Cristo. 

Amaya has been on a work ship for years. It is common for children to work off their parents' debts in this manner. The captain of this ship is as likely to add years to their service as he is to beat them. 

Amaya is counting the days until she can leave the ship and find her mother in the city of Moray. When she saves a man from drowning, he seems to be her ticket off of the ship.

Becoming part of a plot for someone else's revenge (presented to her as her own) Amaya has to get close to the son of the man who owns the ship she spent so long on. 

Sim has set up a great tale of fantasy, revenge and extravagance. Fun series.
