Buffy is dead. Her friends are trying to get on with their lives. Between them, there is enough anger, frustration, loss, guilt and tragedy to down an ocean... or ressurect an ancient demon. Sunnydale being what it is means things aren't looking good for Willow, Xander, and the gang. A Lovelorn demon has been set free into our dimension, and its food is the grief of Buffy's nearest and dearest.

If that's not bad enough, a horde of demonic reptilian sorcerers plan to ressurect their fallen leader and paint the town blood red. Can Buffy's friends face the threat without a Slayer to defend them?

Willow finds that she can learn a great deal from these reptilian mystics. And if there's going to be one resurrection, why can't there be two?
