Josie and Deacon have left Horsetown and are back in search of The City. Joined by Josie’s youngest sister, Sadie, they decide to travel on the riverboat The Green Goddess to save travel time.
But a plague from the Northern Wastes has been loosed on the river’s port towns. Instead of a relaxing cruise, Josie and Deacon have to protect all the people and animals on board -- because if they can’t stop the spread of the plague, they’ll be the only normal ones left in the world.

Excerpt

He grinned. “Then how do you explain Snooter?”

Josie shrugged. “Someone’s got to handle the little jobs.”

“Little jobs?” Sadie asked, both from curiosity and to keep them talking. “What do you mean?”

Josie glanced sideways at Deacon. “Well, while you’ve met him as a gambler, others have met him performing one of his other, less noble professions.”

Sadie gave them both a lost look. “What do you mean?”

“She means I’m willing to do what’s necessary to ensure the safety of those in my care, young Sadie.” He looked hurt, but it was clear he was pretending. “I’m only a thief when I have to be, darlin’, you know that.”

Josie grinned. “Yes, but we’re both so darned good at it.”

“True. And Snooter does indeed assist greatly in helping to relieve the better-off of what makes them better-off.”

“Is that why you two are wanted?”

“That and other reasons,” Josie said. “But now isn’t the time to talk about them. All you need to know is that we’re wanted, and that you’ll be too, if you’re with us.”

Sadie gave Josie a long look. “It didn’t seem to bother Chan. And it don’t seem to bother you two, either.”
