Scourge
Students, kids, and life-long readers,
What if you were diagnosed with a contagious illness that may spread to your family and friends unless you were to be exiled to island? Would you go through with it? How difficult would it be to leave the ones you love, during a time that you need them the most?
This is what our main character faces as she has been diagnosed with the Plague or Scourge and is being sent off with an enemy and her best friend. Once on the island, they learn that man do not survive, and once you are sent to the infirmary, you may never be seen again. But this plot has more layers as she is part of an unwanted section of society known as the River people. This faction has been at odds with the more noble section of the city, and this separation will be a turning point in the plot.
Our main character has a very difficult struggle ahead of her, and may even need help from those she does not trust. But not everything appears s it seems and there are many surprises hidden throughout this book.
