Huntress follows in a state (7)
I believe the answer is:
indiana
'a state' is the definition.
(US state)
'huntress follows in' is the wordplay.
'huntress' becomes 'Diana' (Greek hunter goddess).
'follows' says to put letters next to each other.
'diana' after 'in' is 'INDIANA'.
(Other definitions for indiana that I've seen before include "Gary's place" , "State of southern US" , "--- Jones, Harrison Ford film character" , "American state" , "Vice President Pence's state" .)
