Publisher's Synopsis
It's the time of year for the Sunnydale Sidewalk Art and Craft Festival, and Buffy and the gang have been enlisted to help Joyce prepare for the big event. In fact, Xander's more eager to pitch in than usual, due to the arrival of an attractive young artist namesd Justine. Justine specialises in Tarot paintings, and tells Xander that she senses much psychic energy surrounding his aura. For once, Xander is certain that he's transcended the role of the group 'Zeppo' and found a talent to call his own.
But Buffy's got a nagging suspicion that something about Justine is not five-by-five, especially after she reaches for Justine's prized Tarot deck, causing the normally even-tempered artist to fly off the handle in a big way. And then there's the fact that Angel and other vampires seem uncomfortable in Justine's presence. And that one by one, each of Buffy's closest friends seem to be surrendering their free will to an unknown, unseen force...
