Mother Luck

The Smuggler #4

by Paul Petersen

When attractive, youthful Crystal Gregory takes a teaching position at Sunnydale High, she seems to take an instant dislike to Buffy. Her class pets include Michael, Willow, and Anya, who are all loyal to her in the extreme. None of that would bother Buffy but for the fact that she finds fresh burn marks on two of the students' necks. Giles recognizes the mark of a powerful witch whose existence predates the Salem Witch Trials and knows that she'll stop only when she has successfully gathered a coven of thirteen people and endowed herself with immortality.
