Disclaimer: I listened to the audiobook.
Fable was dumped off on an island for thieves and traitors by her father, Saint, after her mom died on a shipwreck. He told her if she could get off the island and get to him he would give her what she deserved. She is a gem sage, who can "feel" gem stones and find them in the ocean. As she finds pyre and sells it to save enough copper coin to escape Jeval (the island), she gets herself into a tricky situation with another Jevali who wants to kill her and steal her coin. As she escapes onto a ship with a small crew, the helmsman, West, tells her once he gets her to Ceros she is no longer his problem. As they arrive into port, she plans her visit with her father and learns he will not let her crew for him and all he tells her that the Lark (wrecked ship) is her inheritance. She is so disappointed and sad that she ends up working with West for his crew, making a deal to split her inheritance with them if they will help her get to the wrecked Lark. Before they can leave, Zola (from a rival ship), beats West up and rips the sails on their ship. Fable gets the 800 coin to repair the sails and they are able to get away just as Zola is coming for them.
I LOVED this book, BUT it has several uses of ba***** and a little physical romance. Would probably recommend for 8th and up.
