It sets the scene very solidly in history, and the themes are very similar to those in the TV series, especially season 7: the story never mentions Buffy once, indeed takes place 60 years earlier, and yet her influence is felt throughout. (  ) stellar_dust | Dec 31, 2007 |  This was fun! Spike and Dru trekking about the world killing off potential slayers during world war two. This was a nifty use of established characters in a new setting - and interesting new characters added in for extra goodness. (  ) francescadefreitas | May 23, 2007 | Not too terrible--quick read--very interesting in that in came out in 2001 and in some ways prefigures season seven of Buffy. Defies cannon in a way which might give away a plot point but i guess that's forgivable--overall worthwhile. ( ) rampaginglibrarian | Jul 14, 2006 |  no reviews | add a review

"You got Slayer problems? You know what I find works real good with Slayers? Killing them." -- Spike
It's 1940, and Europe is ravaged by World War II -- an ideal environment for demon paramours Spike and Drusilla. The anniversary of Dru's resurrection as a vamp impends, and Spike wants to celebrate. What better gift than Freya's Strand -- a powerful necklace rumored to allow its wearer to shape-shift at will? Spike learns of a demon named Skrymir, who claims to possess the bauble and is willing to trade.
Spike's task is to infiltrate the Watcher's Council headquarters and get his hands on the list of young women in training to take over as Slayer should they be called. In exchange for Freya's Strand, Spike must kill the reining Slayer, a brazen young woman named Sophie, as well as the Slayers-in-Waiting. And if he succeeds, it could mean the end of the Chosen One -- all of the Chosen Ones -- forever....
