“Will obtain Buffy fans up in their feels.” —Entertainment Regular

A FRESH York Instances and Publishers Weekly bestseller

From bestselling author Kiersten White comes the initial novel in a string set in the world of Buffy the Vampire Slayer that introduces a new Slayer as she grapples with the responsibility of managing her incredible forces that she’s just beginning to understand.

Into every generation a Slayer is blessed…

Nina and her twin sister, Artemis, are definately not normal. It’s hard to become when about Slayer you develop up on the Watcher’s Academy, which is a bit not the same as your average boarding school. Right here teens are trained as guides for Slayers—girls gifted with supernatural strength to combat the causes of darkness. But while Nina’s mom can be a prominent person in the Watcher’s Council, Nina hasn’t embraced the violent Watcher lifestyle. Rather she follows her instincts to heal, carving out a place for herself as the school medic.

Before day Nina’s life changes forever.

Because of Buffy, the famous (and infamous) Slayer that Nina’s father died protecting, Nina is not only the newest Particular One—she’s the last Slayer, ever. Period.

While Nina hones her skills with her Watcher-in-training, Leo, there’s plenty to keep her occupied: a monster fighting band, a demon who eats happiness, a shadowy amount that keeps popping up in Nina’s dreams…

But it’s not until bodies begin turning up that Nina’s new capabilities will truly be tested—because someone she loves might be next.

One thing is normally clear: Being Particular is easy. Making choices is really difficult.
