Salt in the Blood ~ Spike
In the haunted shadows of Sunnydale, where the line between myth and murder blurs, seventeen-year-old Lilah Kade is just a little too quiet, a little too strange-and far too good at pretending she doesn't see what lurks in the dark.
She knows Buffy Summers is the Slayer. She knows monsters exist. She's seen them. Felt them. Heard the world hum when something ancient stirs beneath her skin. But Lilah's no chosen one. She's not a hero. She's a siren-born, not made-with a voice that can unravel minds... or worse.
And something is listening.
When Spike crashes into town in a riot of blood and chaos, his path collides with Lilah's in ways neither of them expect. He wants power. Drusilla wants revival. And somewhere inside their ritual, their prophecy, their hunger-Lilah's voice is the key.
As the darkness rises, trust shatters. Love twists into obsession. And Lilah is caught between who she is, who she's becoming, and a fate that was never hers to claim... until now.
In a world of Slayers and soulless things, what happens when the girl with no destiny becomes the weapon everyone wants?
