"You got Slayer problems? You know what I find works real good with Slayers? Killing them." -- Spike
It's 1940, and Europe is ravaged by World War II -- an ideal environment for demon paramours Spike and Drusilla. The anniversary of Dru's resurrection as a vamp impends, and Spike wants to celebrate. What better gift than Freya's Strand -- a powerful necklace rumored to allow its wearer to shape-shift at will? Spike learns of a demon named Skrymir, who claims to possess the bauble and is willing to trade.
Spike's task is to infiltrate the Watcher's Council headquarters and get his hands on the list of young women in training to take over as Slayer should they be called. In exchange for Freya's Strand, Spike must kill the reining Slayer, a brazen young woman named Sophie, as well as the Slayers-in-Waiting. And if he succeeds, it could mean the end of the Chosen One -- all of the Chosen Ones -- forever....
Synopsis
In 1940s Europe, Sophie the Vampire Slayer learns Spike and Drusilla have seized the Watchers' Council's list of all Slayers-in-Waiting, and plan to use this list to track the Slayers down. If Spike and Dru make it halfway down the list, then the "pretty maid" who is called next will be untrained--and unprepared to fulfill her destiny.
