BOOK DESCRIPTION


After an oil spill on a nearby Sunnydale beach, Willow discovers a 'selkie'; that is, a girl that can turn into a seal with her sealskin. The selkie, dubbed Ariel by the gang, cannot return to the ocean because her sealskin was damaged by the oil spill. Willow's trying to find a spell to clean it. At the same time, mermaid-like creatures called merrows have come ashore in search of food and the vampire population gets territorial and try to kill the merrows. Buffy and the gang get stuck in the middle of a turf war while trying to save Ariel.


TRIVIA


  • Tagline: 'Can Willow's new friend be trusted?'

  • Characters include: Buffy, Giles, Xander, Willow, Oz

  • Oz mentions he no longer remembers his natural hair color.



CONTINUITY


  • Supposed to be set late in Buffy Season 3. This is one of the many of the Buffy novels set in an alternative Buffy Season 3 (more specifically Spring 1999 in the Buffyverse). The novels in this period tend to sometimes break established Buffyverse canon in any or all of the following four ways: (1) The threat of the Mayor and Faith is not a major concern. (2) Xander and Cordelia remain an item. (3) Buffy and Angel remain an item. (4) Giles accepts Angel.



Canonical issues

: Buffy Comics such as this one are not usually considered by fans as Canonical . Some fans consider them stories from the imaginations of authors and artists, while other fans consider them as taking place in an alternative fictional reality. However unlike Fan Fiction , overviews summarising their story, written early in the writing process, were 'approved' by both Fox and Joss Whedon (or his office), and the books were therefore later published as officially Buffy merchandise.


Timing


  • Stories that take place around the same time in the Buffyverse:
