summary
For the strength of the pack is the wolf, and the strength of the wolf is the pack.
—Rudyard Kipling, The Jungle Book
Everyone knows lone wolves can't survive for long without a pack. But for Artemis-B312, Noble Team are a pack she's afraid of fitting into. Compared to them, she feels other, inhuman. In their eyes, she's an intruder, an unwanted stray. She has no place in their dynamic.
However, with the Covenant invading humanity's fortress world... She's going to have to find a place, and fast. Reach's survival — and the survival of humanity itself — depends on it.
