    Outnumbered and Outgunned… Just Like Old Times! 
Lorna Greenwood is back, and she’s been given a new command. Well, maybe “new” isn’t the right word. LFS Werewolf is one of the oldest ships in the Lunar Fleet. She’s been rebuilt many times during her 70 years in service, even though she’s not as fast or as heavily armed as Fleet’s more modern light cruisers. Nonetheless, Lorna is proud of her and is determined to whip her green crew into shape for the mission ahead. 
Besides, the Bug War is over, and nobody expects Werewolf will be going into battle anytime soon. Fate, however, has an annoying habit of ignoring expectations…

    Things have been quiet in NOLA . . . Too quiet. 
 
 
 
The Coven had thankfully gone back to shunning Thea after the Silas debacle. Unfortunately, the brutal murders of several hedge witches leaves everyone involved with no option. 
 
 
 
They must present a united front—with Thea as the liaison between AID and the Coven. 
 
 
 
Thea finds motivation in the form of wanting to relieve Jax of the guilt he feels for mentoring the victims. 
 
 
 
The investigation opens doors within the Coven for Thea. However distasteful she finds the skeletons in the Coven's closets, the knowledge she gains could be just what she needs to get to the bottom of the mystery before it's too late for the unaffiliated witches in the city. 
 
 
 
Early leads point to a literal witch hunt. Keeping the peace as tensions rise in the magical community is not conducive to getting the answers every side is demanding. 
 
 
 
Solving the murders can't be as simple as identifying non-magicals taking out a vendetta against the seemingly unprotected witches outside the Coven? Right?
