Publisher's Synopsis
The Hunter's Moon follows the Harvest Moon and plays a large part in Luisa Hunter's life. She was named after a great warrior and claimed the Hunter's Moon as her own through two marriages, but her friends and allies call her Lu, She is a descendent of Barbara Yeager, the white witch known as Baba Yaga, Like her ancestors, she is bound to protect the land, critters, and humans in her vicinity by an oath to the Creator. That gets her called Death and Destruction by the evil dark witches.
Her relatives provided the mirror spell. That spell reflects any spell cast her way at the originating witch. If any dark witch sent a killing spell, they committed suicide as evidenced by the cloud of dust slowly falling to earth. It was so reliable, it remained a secret weapon for no attacking dark witches were left to report its existence.
The dark witches weren't the only enemies. Lu, located near the Missouri River and south of the border with Canada, could count weather as an enemy under the wrong conditions. She'd all ready lost a husband and son to black ice on the road. But it was a sometime ally when it helped her. There were critters and humans that threatened also. Those were tricky to defeat, but she did her best. Specially when faced with the politicians though she sided with the statesmen when that rare breed came into her circle. Her definition for them is that the politician did what was popular, while the statesman did what was right even if unpopular.
