Plagues of Caprica (Tigers of Caprica Book 2) by Mandy O’Dell

I am still the only survivor of the deadly plague, and now thanks to Esca’s fires, people are dying on the front steps of the palace. Langosa and Vane try to shelter me from the victims, but I’ve found a way around their suffocating rules. Disguised in a plague mask, I find my way to St. Crispin’s square where the survivors of the fire are being sheltered in tents. Perhaps there, my medical knowledge and experience can make a difference. Before the fires, I’d become accustomed to the company of Jack and Captain as I made my way through the canals, but Jack has disappeared and Captain hasn’t returned since the night we ended Esca. I am now alone. I must remain vigilant and careful for a new tiger presence has turned up in Captain’s absence. This beast is angry and hungry. He is fearsome and much more dangerous to me than Captain ever was. Perhaps more dangerous than the plague itself. Desperate to find a cure, I reach out to Langosa. His research into the fever grows frenzied, blurring the lines of morality with each wild experiment. Though he is becoming unpredictable and frantic, he’s agreed to allow me to work with him to find a cure. For a price. But, can I barter my blood for the survival of Caprica?
