Publisher's summary

Fresh from his latest attempt to get Buffy to act on her feelings for him, Spike, the once-terrifying vampire Big Bad, has fled to the dark side of the moon. His soul-searching trip leads him to a group of dangerous demons and a rude awakening from his reverie, which in turn leads him on an unexpected adventure to... Sunnydale! Working in an appearance by the main villains from Angel & Faith and a romantic liaison with a succubus, Victor Gischler (Deadpool, Punisher) brings Spike's character to vivid life, presenting this vampire who chose to have a soul with the hard truth about himself and his pursuit of the Slayer.
