AUTHOR: Christopher Golden and Nancy Holder
ISBN: 0-671-02135-4
FIRST PUBLISHED: October 1998
EVIL THINGS COME IN SMALL PACKAGES
Jousting contests, human chess matches, lords and ladies and beggars...a traveling Renaissance fair has come to Sunnydale. The fair may seem terminally uncool, but Buffy and her friends are charmed anyway. Especially by a sadeyed boy named Roland, who serves as the court jester.
Unfortuantely, the people from the fair are not the only visitors in Sunnydale. Roaming the countryside are nasty little creatures with a taste for flesh: the dark faerie. They are minions of the Wild Hunt, servants of the evil Erl King.
Buffy's challenge is to annihilate the king and his murderous horde. But the path to his destruction leads staight to Roland, who is not quite human...and destined to become the Slayer's mortal adversary.

"Hush, Buffy. My soul is my curse, they can't take it away," he said. "But they can take yours."
The room resounded with howls and thunder and Buffy's own heartbeat roaring in her ears. Her body ached with cold. Pinned beneath Angel, she could barely breathe. . . .
