Publisher's Synopsis
Intrigue and magic swallow Carla and Apache as they embark on a widely broadcast journey downriver in an effort to draw their enemies far from Rivertown. Their plan backfires when it triggers the wily plot General Holland has been scheming for months. Beset by snipers and underworld trickery, the notorious pair undertake a dangerous mission when they discover that Ace Knobbs and his rebel soldier unit- escorting seventy Dislodgement survivors consisting mostly of women and children to safety- have vanished into thin air. As they rush to unravel the mystery before it is too late, Neptune steps up his dark contest of wills, forcing Carla to make a final choice that could strip her from Apache forever.
