Synopsis

In the first-ever Angel hardcover novel, a twist of fate offers Angel the chance to atone for his years of evil once and for all -- but only at the cost of his own destruction. Courtesy of The Powers That Be, Cordelia Chase has grown used to her excruciatingly painful visions, but that doesn't mean that they leave her unmoved. So when her latest vision involves not an anonymous stranger in peril, but someone she knows, she finds it more than usually disturbing. Especially since the subject of her vision is Faith, the rogue slayer; whose recent incarceration in jail, it seems, is the least of her problems. Then one-time big game hunter Chaz Escobar shows up at Angel Investigations, asking for their help to track down his wife. Her name is Marianna -- and she's a vampire. Alone with her on a small and distant island, Escobar had been working to find a cure. Before he could succeed, however, she escaped him, and now he suspects that she is the creature who's been stalking Faith. But Escobar has a hidden agenda, and before long Angel, Cordy, Wesley and Gunn discover that his real aim is to rid the world of vampires -- all of them, forever; even those who possess a soul. If Angel is willing to sacrifice himself in order to help the hunter achieve his goal, then his atonement will truly be complete. But before they can reach the artifact they require to complete their task, the two of them find that they themselves have become the prey, in a game controlled by beings of absolute evil -- the lawyers of Wolfram and Hart.

From School Library Journal

Grade 8 Up-Angel the vampire and his surreal cohorts set out to save one of their compatriots from the clutches of the evil Marianna in this convoluted series entry based on the television spin-off of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The plot and characters will be of interest only to those who are already familiar with the previous books or with the television series. The story does not stand on its own.
