Quiet After the Hurricane

"'And at that point in time, everything seemed alright. Because after this whole hurricane, there could be a little bit of quiet. Quiet after the hurricane, you might say.' -Lucas Red" Quiet After the Hurricane is the first book in the series by that same name. It is written by @digitaldreams0801. The overall plot involves the actions of a legal spy, who is the overall mastermind behind the events of the book, and in an indirect way the series, even without ever committing a crime.

1) Turnabout Ignition (VY-3 Incident)
Lily Shield is requested by Polly Bloom to defend Anton Burke, a high school boy accused of killing a young woman by the name of Venus Rinko. The witness' testimony seems to be eaten up a tad too easy by Lily's boss, Cotoli Morix, and the prosecution is going easy. But the most concerning thing is that the motive for murder, as proven by Yuri Rinko, the victim's youngest sister, is over a legal spy called the Oracle of the Law.

2) Turnabout Breakdown
The day that the previous case is solved, the previous culprit is murdered. Yuri is arrested for the crime, and Niamh Tenniswood and Lucas Red defend her. A new detective, Jo Jade, is jittery around them, as if she had met Tenniswood at one point before. The culprit is eventually shown to be a member of the UCA, or Under Cover Assassin, who broke one of their fellow assassins out of prison the day of the murder.

3) The Disastrous Turnabout (UC-1 Incident)
Lucas' third case is defending a man who worked under the victim. Cotoli is acting oddly when it comes to the case, as if he knows something others involved don't. Deirdre Moody assisted in bringing Estelle Burns, an evidence forger, to the witness stand. Estelle proves that a piece of evidence is for the truth, though the criminal, Cotoli, Lucas, Tenniswood, and Lily's boss at the time, confesses to being an assassin before shooting a gun at the Oracle of the Law: Estelle.

4) Turnabout on the Waves
Lily, Lucas, and Chrysalis defend Kaito Turq, a sailor accused of killing his competitor. Chrysalis eventually ditches the case, though she acts oddly when doing so. Lucas and Venus chat via spirit channeling regarding the UC-1 Incident and Estelle Burns' disappearance. Venus accidentally gives away a vital clue in the Oracle's identity. Lucas attempts to determine it while trying to find the truth in the case at hand.

5) The Festive Turnabout
Cotoli is accused of killing Cassidy Rinko, Yuri and Venus' sister. Yuri and Tenniswood defend him, and through testimony of the odd witness, Candy Soiskri, they prove that the defendant couldn't be the culprit. The killer was, rather, a serial murderer, who had assumed Cassidy had associations with the Oracle. All members of the agency returned to their business building so the Rinko sisters could reunite, though the Oracle was getting closer to being revealed.

6) The Undercover Turnabout
A murder takes place on a train and Lucas takes the case with teenager Averl Jones. When the truth is close to being found, the UCA reveals that they have a hostage, an Interpol agent by the name of Sakura Rai. Venus finally tells Lucas of the Oracle of the Law's true name, and Lucas discovers that this being revealed could be more connected to the case than was originally suspected.

Main Characters
-Lucas Red-An attorney at Morix Law Offices. During the story, he's investigating the Oracle of the Law in an attempt to discover their true identity after Venus slipped up and gave him details. In the conclusion of the book, he ends up pinning it onto the mastermind being the project after deducing the true identity of Oracle.

-Venus Rinko-The first case's victim and expert on everything involving the Oracle of the Law. She appears in every case to provide hints to the Oracle's name, often at Lucas' request. In case four, she slips up and gives away a crucial detail to Oracle's true identity to Lucas.

-Chrysalis Starr-A young girl who works at the agency and is the owner's younger sister. She assists with cases occasionally, though she never finishes due to undisclosed reasons. She helps out briefly in cases two, four, and six before disappearing for a majority of the case's remainder without saying why.

-Cotoli Morix-The agency's owner. A talented attorney who has connections with those who are proven to be related to the Oracle's true form. He called said person to the witness stand in case three, knowing of such secret and keeps it close, even proving that somebody he trusted was a killer by her suggestion.

-Yuri Rinko-Venus' younger sister. She knew the Oracle of the Law before she disappeared after the third case's events. Her family has a linking with who Oracle really is, as both of her sisters knew of who the spy was underneath all of their facades seen by the public.

-Niamh Tenniswood-The youngest attorney at agency. She has the ability to detect discord, or emotional unrest, within other people's voices, which is used throughout the duration of the story. In case three, she crossed paths with the Oracle unknowingly before the trial was brought into session.

-Lily Shield-Another agency attorney. She owns charm that can show the Locks on a person's heart, an ability she uses frequently during the book's plot line. She is asked to channel Venus frequently for Lucas' sake and always willingly goes along with his wishes, despite not really understanding why he wishes for such.

-Polly Bloom-A local prosecutor who requested Anton's defense in case one. Her role is as one of the major prosecutor rivals, always to Tenniswood, of the book. She is Anton's adopted mother and cares deeply for his safety, even letting down her tough guard to console him when he needs it.

-Anton Burke-Polly's assistant and case one defendant. He suffers from illness that causes memory loss upon receiving any variation of head blow, which is shown in case one. He's a sweet, younger character who, despite being a member of the prosecution always, cares for the lawyers quite much and is never rude to them.

-Deirdre Moody-Another local prosecutor. She appears as Lily's major prosecutor rival throughout the course of the book and knows about Oracle's true identity, as is displayed when she assisted Cotoli in dragging the Oracle to the witness stand to testify regarding the case at hand.

-Hana Bullgard-The third and final main prosecutor rival of the story. She battles against Lucas in court during the course of the story story and offers to assist the Oracle in case three, despite being turned down. She keeps a red piece of fabric with her in court, most likely a reference to 'bull' being in her surname.

-Abbie Mills-The main detective of story. She works on a majority of the cases with detectives (2, 5, 6) and is often the one to arrest the defendant, though there are exceptions to such rule. She testifies in court about the case currently being resolved a few times as well.
