PREVIOUSLY: If you have not read Mortal Ground Book One, I highly recommend that you do so. It's not completely necessary to understand what's happening, but it will greatly increase your enjoyment of this story.

SUMMARY: Angel gone, her Watcher dead, Faith finds herself allied with her former mortal enemies, the Scoobies. Her new enemy's mysterious plot begins to unfold as together they are drawn ever deeper into a twisted web of deceit. Suspicions and mistrust abound as the Scoobies struggle to come to terms with their new ally, Faith continues her battle to prove herself worthy of the Slayer mantle, and fear of betrayal threatens to tear apart their tenuous alliance. Meanwhile, one of their number is drawn increasingly toward the side of darkness, and even darker secrets await them all beneath the earth...

NOTES: This story is an epic. Book One began about two weeks after the events of "The Gift". Book Two picks up where Book One left off, about three months or so after Faith's arrival in Sunnydale. This story is meant to span the course of, and will incorporate some of the character plot lines of, Season 6. However, Faith's presence has affected the way a lot of events unfolded and this story will explore those differences.

SPOILERS: Through S6

STATUS: Complete.

DISCLAIMER: All characters belong to Mutant Enemy and/or Joss Whedon, except Tenth, Fox and most of the bad guys; they know which ones are theirs (and likely you do, too). The background mostly belongs to ME and Joss. The story is almost all mine. Songs lyrics belong to their respective owners, as noted.
