![]() ![]() But I think that Sim has kept the essence of the story rather than worrying about doing an adaptation. ![]() I’m only vaguely familiar with The Count of Monte Cristo, so I must admit I wouldn’t have made the connection if not for the mention on the back of the book. All roads lead to the same man – Cayo’s father. They both come together for different but similar reasons – Amaya is out for revenge for her sponsor, a man named Boon, and Cayo needs to restore his family’s wealth to save his sister from a devastating illness. Our two protagonists in Scavenge the Stars are Amaya, a young girl who was sold to a debtors’ ship after her father died, and Cayo, the son of a wealthy merchant whose predilection for gambling has thrown his family into turmoil. Journey to the city-state of Moray, where everyone has a secret and no one can be trusted. A quest for vengeance unravels further than ever thought possible in Scavenge the Stars, the first book in Tara Sim’s fantasy duology based on The Count of Monte Cristo. ![]()
