RAISING THE DEAD
With midterms looming, the students at Sunnydale High are predictably stressed-out. Even super-student Willow is feeling the pressure to succeed. And when her usual study buddies – Buffy,
Xander, and Oz – decide they don't need her tutorial sessions, Willow
wonders if she's really what they don't need. But her hurt
feelings don't explain her sudden antagonism toward Buffy – or the
strange dreams they've both been having.
As tensions in the
school escalate into brutal acts of violence – and the perpetrators
turn up horribly mutilated – Buffy and the gang search for a
supernatural source. The evidence indicates that someone is attempting
to resurrect a powerful Hindu demon. Willow's new confidante, guidance
counselor Promila Daruwalla, becomes the prime suspect... until Giles
runs into an old "friend" who is always causing trouble. It will take
all of the Slayer's resources... and the help of all her friends... to find the culprit and destroy the key to the demon's resurrection.
