Blooded is an original novel based on the U.S. television series Buffy .


BOOK DESCRIPTION


Chirayoju, an ancient Chinese vampire, and Sanno, a Japanese Mountain King, have been fighting for years. Their spirits were imprisoned in a sword by a curse. The sword arrives in Sunnydale and while viewing the Japanese exhibit at the museum Willow becomes possessed by the spirit of Chirayoju and Xander, later on, becomes possessed by the spirit of Sanno. Buffy must figure out a way to stop the two spirits without killing her own friends. During the final battle, when the fight takes an ugly turn, Buffy must also keep her own spirit alive.


CONTINUITY

  • Set somewhere in mid Season 2, but breaking with established Buffyverse 'canon'. Buffy claims she is seventeen, yet she must be rounding her age up to the nearest year because the book is obviously set before Angel and Buffy consummated their relationship in the episode, Surprise / Innocence



Canonical issues

Buffy Novels , such as this one are considered by most fans to not be part of Buffyverse canon. They are not considered as official Buffyverse reality, but are novels from the authors' imaginations. However unlike fanfic, 'overviews' summarising their story, written early in the writing process, were 'approved' by both Fox and Whedon (or his office), and the books were therefore later published as official ''Buffy'' merchandise.
