Sunnydale has always attracted monsters. Vampires. Demons. Prophecies. Apocalypses. But this year, the Hellmouth has called something else. A transfer student. Gianna “Gigi” Hernandez-Caban arrives at Sunnydale High carrying a cello case, a smile, and secrets older than humanity itself. Beautiful, mysterious, and strangely beloved by nearly everyone she meets, she quickly becomes one of Sunnydale’s most popular students. What nobody knows is that Gigi is the descendant of an ancient Old One—an immensely powerful witch with siren blood running through her veins, gifted with prophetic dreams and abilities capable of rivaling the greatest magical beings in history. And she knows exactly who Buffy Summers is. For years, Gigi has dreamed of the Slayer’s death. Over. And over. And over again. Determined to change fate without destroying it entirely, she transfers to Sunnydale intending to subtly protect Buffy from the shadows. But Sunnydale has a way of unraveling secrets. Demons begin whispering old names. The Hellmouth stirs. And as friendships deepen and feelings begin to bloom, Gigi is forced to confront the terrifying truth: If she loses herself, she may become something far worse than any apocalypse Buffy has ever faced. After all… what happens when one of the most powerful beings on Earth chooses to be human? Or worse— what happens if she stops?
