Waterfire Saga, Book Three: Dark Tide: A Deep Blue Novel - Plot & Excerpts

“Stop, Zhen,” a lazy voice drawled.
    “Why? You searching the cart tonight?” the driver asked.
    “Not me. We got orders not to touch any fever bodies.”
    Ling, who’d been rigid with fear, relaxed. The guards were no longer searching the carts. Thank the gods. Any second now, Zhen would crack his whip, and they’d be moving through the gates.
    “So can I go?” Zhen asked impatiently. “I want to dump these stiffs and get home. My wife’s got a bowl of whelk stew waiting for me.”
    “Hang on a minute, will you? We got a new system,” the death rider said.
    “What is it? You poke ’em with spears or something?”
    “No,” the guard said. “We use the sea wasps.”
    “Ha!” said Zhen. “That’ll make sure there’re no live ones.”
    Ling’s blood turned to ice in her veins.
