  If there was one thing I'd learned over the last few months, it was that absolutely nothing lasted forever.Which was probably why I'd been so surprised when Hunter announced he was staying in Portland. I couldn't help but think, and hope, that it had something to do with me, a forty-year-old divorcee who was half witch and half fae.Or maybe that was just a pipe dream.Either way, a new hunk isn't the only thing that's changed in my life within the last forty-eight hours. For starters, I freed an elf from prison based solely on the fact that he knew my grandfather's name. And then that elf promptly had some sort of magical heart attack, leaving me to wonder just what the heck is going on in the world of the fae.I won't have to wait too long to get answers, though. In fact, they're coming at me more quickly than I can even think.

  "Midnight what Happened," asked a policeman offhandedly of an oddly dressed man who looked like a stage magician in blue wearing a mask. 
  "Are you mad there was a school shooting," said Midnight looking slightly greenish. 
  "No I just got here," said the policeman, "is anyone else here?" 
  "Dante, and Dark Starlight," said Midnight offhandedly. 
  "Don't you mean Dark Star?" said the policeman. 
  "No Starlight she's Dante's wife the Marchioness of Mars," 
  said Midnight. 
  The policeman laughed. "The Martianess of Mars are you kidding me?" 
  "What's so funny about my title?" a tall black-haired masked woman in a black suit said. 
  "Dark Starlight I take it," said the policeman nervously. 
  "Yes," said the woman insulted. 
  "Nice to meet you where is your husband?" asked the policeman. 
  "The Marquess of Mars is inside the building," said Starlight. 
  The policeman went inside the building to see her husband.

Taking command of the fleet... consisting of one sloop, recently confiscated from a band of smugglers, the new admiral sets out to build up his crew - three sailors. As the government neglects to allocate him any budget or pay any salaries, the "fleet" is forced to conduct jobbing trade around the coast to keep its sailors fed. But the admiral lives in hope that one day he will receive orders which will enable him to serve his country...
