Slayers will see Spike delve deep undercover as he attempts to convince a collection of enemies he’s returned to his evil ways.
However, his cover is soon compromised when he crosses paths with a fresh-faced 16-year-old Slayer.
While searching for an expert Watcher who can guide the teen girl, Spike encounters a veteran Slayer from a parallel reality where Buffy Summers never existed – and where Drusilla is the Big Bad.
Slayers: A Buffyverse Story premieres on October 12 on Audible.
