Plot summary

After an oil spill on a nearby Sunnydale beach, Willow discovers a 'selkie'; that is, a girl that can turn into a seal with her sealskin. The selkie, dubbed Ariel by the gang, cannot return to the ocean because her sealskin was damaged by the oil spill. Willow's trying to find a spell to clean it. At the same time, mermaid-like creatures called merrows have come ashore in search of food and the vampire population gets territorial and try to kill the merrows. Buffy and the gang get stuck in the middle of a turf war while trying to save Ariel.

Continuity

  • Supposed to be set late in Buffy Season 3.

Canonical issues

Main article: Buffyverse canon
Buffy novels such as this one are not usually considered by fans as canonical. Some fans consider them stories from the imaginations of authors and artists, while other fans consider them as taking place in an alternative fictional reality. However unlike fan fiction, overviews summarising their story, written early in the writing process, were 'approved' by both Fox and Joss Whedon (or his office), and the books were therefore later published as officially Buffy merchandise.

Timing

  • Stories that take place around the same time in the Buffyverse:

  • Buffy books. These tend to surround the character of Buffy and the fictional town of Sunnydale
  • Angel books. These instead focus on Angel and his so called 'Fang Gang'
  • “Tales of the Slayer” These chronicle the stories of past slayers
  • All of the above can be described as “Buffyverse novels”
