Now that Nina has turned the [[Watcher]]'s Castle into a utopia for hurt and lonely [[demon]]s, she’s still waiting for the utopia part to kick in. With her sister [[Artemis Jamison-Smythe|Artemis]] gone and only a few people remaining at the castle — including her still-distant mother — Nina has her hands full.

  +
==Continuity==
  +
*The events of the story are established as taking place in January 2007, during the period of [[end of magic]].
  +
*Nina dreams of [[Chao-Ahn]] telling her that she learned from [[Rupert Giles]] that ice cream solves anything, as he gave her in episode "[[First Date]]". The dream's room also features the drawings Giles also gave her in the same episode.
  +
*[[Honora Wyndam-Pryce|Honora]] suggests going to California and staking the [[vampire]] her cousin works for, unaware that [[Wesley Wyndam-Pryce]] has died ("[[Not Fade Away]]") and [[Angel]] moved to London (''[[Last Gleaming, Part Five]]'').
  +
*The convention features a poster advertising for ''[[Harmony Bites]]'', [[Harmony Kendall]]'s reality show with [[Clement]] that debuted in issue ''[[Harmonic Divergence]]''.
  +
*[[Ian Von Alston]] mentions there's still no way to restore [[soul]]s to vampires, but prevents Nina from correcting him; Angel was ensouled though the [[Ritual of Restoration]] ("[[Becoming, Part One]]") and Spike after the [[Demon Trials]] ("[[Grave]]").
  +
*Nina questions if [[werewolf|werewolves]] turn back into [[human]]s if they die; it's known that common werewolves don't ("[[Wild at Heart]]"), but those of the ''[[Lycanthropus exterus]]'' species do turn back ("[[Unleashed]]").
  +
*Chao-Ahn tells Nina about getting hurt while fighting [[higher being|gods]] with Taylor and Maricruz, a reference to the battle in Tibet against the [[Wrathful goddess]]es in ''[[Retreat, Part Five]]''. She also mentions [[Buffy Summers|Buffy]] leaving them behind, as she was first taken to [[Twilight]] (''[[Twilight, Part Three]]'') then went to a battle in Sunnydale (''[[Last Gleaming, Part One]]'').
  +
*Oz tells Nina about his failed attempt to dam his werewolf's darkness, mentioning the events from "[[New Moon Rising]]".
  +
*Nina mentions [[Rhys Zabuto]]'s parents being killed during the attack of the [[First Evil]]'s followers against the [[Watchers Council headquarters]] ("[[Never Leave Me]]").
  +
*[[Faith Lehane]] mentions being stabbed once by Buffy ("[[Graduation Day, Part One]]"), her instantaneous reaction of stabbing someone ("[[Bad Girls]]"), and having turned to [[Richard Wilkins]] in his office ("[[Consequences]]").
  +
*Rhys tells the [[Sleeping One]] that a Watcher has killed a god, Giles having done so with [[Glorificus]] in "[[The Gift]]".
  +
*[[Imogen Post|Imogen]] reveals that [[Gwendolyn Post|Gwendolyn]] was after the [[Glove of Myhnegon]], in episode "[[Revelations]]", to be able to kill one of the Jamison-Smythe sisters and prevent their apocalyptic prophecy from happening.

Angelwings

Chosen is the second and final book of the Slayer novel series. Written by Kiersten White, it was originally published by Simon Pulse on January 7, 2020.

Synopsis

Nina continues to learn how to use her slayer powers against enemies old and new in this second novel in the New York Times bestselling series from Kiersten White, set in the world of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Now that Nina has turned the Watcher's Castle into a utopia for hurt and lonely demons, she's still waiting for the utopia part to kick in. With her sister Artemis gone and only a few people remaining at the castle — including her still-distant mother — Nina has her hands full. Plus, though she gained back her Slayer powers from Leo, they're not feeling quite right after being held by the seriously evil succubus Eve, a.k.a. fake Watcher's Council member and Leo's mom.

And while Nina is dealing with the darkness inside, there's also a new threat on the outside, portended by an odd triangle symbol that seems to be popping up everywhere, in connection with Sean's demon drug ring as well as someone a bit closer to home. Because one near-apocalypse just isn't enough, right?

The darkness always finds you. And once again, it’s coming for the Slayer.[1]
