Telzey Amberdon was only in her teens when she discovered that she was a telepath. Not only a telepath, but a xenotelepath, able to communicate mentally not just with humans, but with alien intelligences. And she turned out to be one of the most powerful telepaths in the history of the galactic civilization called the Hub. First she had to deal with an alien race that humans hadn't realized were intelligent, and who were about to eliminate those troublesome humans who thought they were colonizing an uninhabited world. Then, she had to fend off the secret psi agents of the Psychological Corps who took a dim view of any telepath, let alone one with Telzey's powers, operating outside of their control. Next, she stumbled across a telepathic serial killer, who used an unstoppable predator, under his mental control, to hunt and kill his victims and Telzey was to be the catch of the day. It was fortunate for the human race that she survived, since she next found herself in the middle of a secret war between two hidden races of genetically engineered humans. They called it the "Lion Game", and they made the mistake of thinking that in this clash of predators, Telzey was just a harmless kitten. But when the dust settled, Telzey would be the only one purring...

When a formerly normal, well-adjusted student suddenly shoots his entire family dead and then commits suicide, Buffy and her gang, accustomed to the baleful influence of the Hellmouth which lies beneath the California town of Sunnydale, start looking for the usual suspects - vampires, demons, witches, whatever. The truth, however, turns out to be harder than anything the Hellmouth can throw at them. This time the evil has no supernatural cause. It's the everyday stuff - drugs, pressure, thwarted love. What's a Slayer to do? First off, dig a little deeper...

When attractive, youthful Crystal Gregory takes a teaching position at Sunnydale High, she also takes what seems to be an instant dislike to Buffy Summers. Buffy's Slayer sense doesn't detect anything unusual about the teacher. But when you're living on a Hellmouth, nothing is what it seems.Crystal isn't above playing favorites, and her pets including Willow, Michael, and Anya are loyal to her in the extreme. This wouldn't bother Buffy... but for the fact that she has found a fresh burn mark on two of the students necks. Giles immediately recognizes the symbol as the mark of a powerful witch whose existence predates the Salem Witch Trials. The primal witch will continue to wreak havoc until she successfully gathers a coven of thirteen people who have magickal ability. Once the group is created, she will perform a moonlit ritual to endow herself with infinite power, at which point all members of her clan indeed, all human beings will be subject to her will. Buffy's going to need her Wicca girl, Willow, to save the world this time but can Willow be persuaded by reason before it's too late?
