FIRST PUBLISHED: December 1998
OLD MAGIC, NEW PROBLEM
The Hellmouth (aka Sunnydale, CA) has drawn vampires, witches, and other demons to its powerful vortex. Now it has drawn the attention of an ancient sect of Druids -allies in Buffy Summers' battle against the Undead.
Cloaked in Darkness, wrapped in mystery, the Druids descend on Sunnydale ready to perform new rituals to summon forth a new world order, free from the evil that shapes Buffy's nights.
But the Slayer's concerns are more immediate -someone is stalking her friends. Cordelia, Xander, and Oz -all are falling victim to this new spell. And now it's up to Willow and Giles to find the cause, while Buffy stands between the Mouth of Hell and the New Dawn.
"You're going to leave Giles as a statue?"
"Oh, you're right. It would be easier to just put him to sleep."
George nodded toward Giles without turning his gaze from Willow. The librarian moaned and fell gently to the floor.
"Willow." George smiled gently. "I cannot think of a more appropriate name for what must be done."
Willow looked around. The Druid had her backed against a shelf of books. "Uh, I think I really should be staying here-"
"I'm sorry. That is no longer under your control." He frowned for an instant as his index finger touched his brow. "Willow -Rosenberg, that is correct? You are about to do a very important thing. You are about to save the world."
Oh, Willow thought. That doesn't sound so bad.
"I promise you there will be no pain."
Where is Buffy when you need her?
