Changes: City Of (novel)

Revision as of 03:24, 11 January 2020

The subject of this article is non-canonical.
While created as part of licensed material, it has not been confirmed as part of the "real" Buffyverse continuity.

City Of is a novelization in the Angel novels series. Written by Nancy Holder, it was originally published on December 1, 1999 by Pocket Books.

Synopsis

EVERYONE'S GOT HIS DEMONS...

For Angel, life as a vampire was a constant thrill. Power, danger, cool clothes (never getting old, also a plus). But in the end, it was all about the kill — until he killed the wrong girl.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer was Angel's first true love, but the relationship was doomed from the start — a moment of true happiness would cause Angel to lose his soul forever. So he left — Sunnydale, Buffy, and everything else meaningful to him.

City of Angels. Run by powerful forces, agents of pure evil. It's a city hard on its human population. If Angel wants to save himself, he's going to have to save them... somehow. With the help of two unlikely allies — a half-demon and a ex-May Queen — he's going to set up shop...

And keep watch over his city.
