After Buffy kills twin teenage vampires, their vampire mother steps in to seek revenge for the death of her sons.

In this trial, Buffy discovers what she fears most and her love for her mom must triumph over the vampire mother's love for her dead sons.


TRIVIA


  • The tagline is: 'Family ties that bind'.

  • Buffyverse Canon characters include: Buffy, Xander, Willow, Angel, Giles, Cordelia, Oz, Joyce

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.
