'Angel and Faith': 'Death and Consequences' (Part 1) by Christos Gage

Resurrecting Giles in a world without magic seems to be closer than ever before as Angel gathers more and more pieces of the former Watcher’s soul. Faith has served as Angel’s right hand, while at the same time being urged by all around her to make sure he doesn’t cross a line. Her other focus since the end of magic – that is, watching out for the displaced Slayers – hasn’t been going as we’ll. For now, Angel and Faith have each other…

In Peru, Angel and Faith battle with giant lizards to secure the Crown of Coils, a mystical circlet with the power to resurrect the dead. After returning to London, the duo make a midnight visit to the graveyard where Giles is buried; however, when they did up the deceased Watcher’s coffin they are astonished to find it empty. When Lavinia and Sophronia hear the news that their nephew’s body has been lost they are livid, even more so when Angel and Faith explain that their investigations show that his corpse was stolen before the coffin was buried. At that moment Nadira and her gang of Slayers arrive, carrying the body of Marianne; the girl was murdered by Drusilla after Angel failed to stop her – and now the girls want him to use the Crown to bring her back to life…
