Plot summary
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
- Like many Buffy novels, the exact point in continuity is hard to determine. Some elements, such as character relationships and date of publication (Aug. 1998), suggest a Season 2 timeline. However, other facts and events, such as characters' ages, seem to place the storyline in early Season 3. Topping's guide places this book's events in mid-Season 2.

The Buffyverse canon consists of materials that are thought to be genuine (or "official" and those events characters settings etc Buffyverse novels|Angel novels Buffy novels have been published since 1998. 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.
