First published 2011
Buffy Summers carries the weight of being the Chosen One, destined to protect humanity from supernatural threats. At a local carnival, what should be a night of fun turns lethal when shape shifters transform the amusement park into a nightmare realm. The creatures hunt visitors through funhouse mirrors and carnival rides while Buffy battles to save innocent lives. Her troubles multiply when vivid dreams of past lives begin haunting her sleep. These visions reveal previous Slayers from history, and Buffy realizes the nightmares connect to a larger threat spanning centuries. Evil forces target Slayers across time itself, creating a portal that endangers every warrior who has ever held the sacred duty. Buffy must defend both ancient and modern Slayers to preserve the unbroken chain of protectors. The fate of her own life depends on saving those who came before her. Three interconnected adventures test her resolve as demons, shape shifters, and time itself conspire against the girl chosen to stand between darkness and light.
