"This book is based on the TV series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." An ancient, mythical being called The Gatherer is attacking Sunnydale with a barrage of natural disasters - fires, floods, storms, and earthquakes. Buffy and Faith must enlist the help of Kendra and India (from beyond the grave) and friends and family on Earth to defeat it. The entire world is in danger, but Buffy and friends are there to fight it with a mixture of magic, intelligence, and physical combat. "
