Spike's a vampire who will do anything if he's paid enough. Like protect human Buffy, whose life is in danger. She's less than thrilled, but finds herself drawn to him even as she realizes he's more than he seems. But there's more going on than meets the eye, and humans aren't the only ones after her. When she's called as the Slayer, her entire world changes. Patrolling in LA, she tries to avoid a persistent Spike, whose motives are uncertain and who she's discovered some harsh truths about. However, being sent to the Hellmouth and realizing the high death rate of her calling, Buffy hires Spike as backup with the only currency she has left—Slayer blood. But things are no longer as simple as just business, and the vampires on the Hellmouth aren't exactly strangers. Winner of nine awards, with eight current nominations!
