Now her friends can only watch as the juiced-up witch sets off on a trail of vengeance and magick-gathering to prepare the spell that will bring Tara back to life.

Even Willow's own coven has turned against her now. Condemned for saving Buffy from their evil phantom and for not protecting the other coven members fully, as she had promised, Willow must come up with a way to restore herself to them -- and to reinforce her position of power, which hangs in the balance. But the truth -- that she battled the phantom because the ghost of Tara told her to -- will only lower Willow's status in the eyes of her coven. It is time for big magic. Infallible magic. And as Willow turns to the elements for protection, Buffy and the rest of the Scoobies must find a way to fight back without losing Willow forever...

The Ghost of Tara has disappeared. At first Willow thought it was because of something she'd done - or worse, that the universe was again conspiring to hurt her. But it's almost impossible to keep secrets from a witch, especially one as powerful as Willow, and ultimately she learns that Buffy and the gang are the culprits. Willow desperately wants Tara back. Not only does she miss her immensely, the spirit's presence is necessary to perform the resurrection spell Willow's been working on. Though her first impulse is to charge off and bring her wrath down upon the heads of her old friends, her coven reminds her that in the past, when Willow has allowed anger to control her, she has failed. Willow must develop an alternate plan to regain Tara's spirit and perform the spell. Buffy and the Scoobies hope to drain Willow's power, and release Spike and Oz from their enslavement. But Willow's anger is endless, and it seems she'll stop at nothing in her fight to bring Tara back, no matter what the cost...

Ultraviolet has the eeriness and Milla Jovovich-sex appeal of Resident Evil, the stylish precision of the Matrix, and the non-stop intensity of Kill Bill.Set in a futuristic urban metropolis, this sci-fi action-adventure tells the story of a sub-culture of humans who have been modified genetically by a vampire-like disease, giving them enhanced speed, strength, and intelligence. Labeled "Hemaphages," the disorder has set them apart from ordinary healthy humans and societies, who have declared them a hazard and are now hunting them down. The conflict escalates to the brink of civil war between the human government and the enhanced diseased populace. Caught in the middle is one such infected woman, Violet (Milla Jovovich), who finds herself protecting a nine-year-old boy, named Six (Cameron Bright), whose life is in grave danger. Violet's athleticism, drive and outrage, make her a formidable barrier between Six and the extremists from both sides of the conflict, who seek to use his unique genetic make-up to eliminate the other. However, they have strongly underestimated Violet and her razor sharp survival instincts.

Brynna is a fallen angel trying to earn redemption. She’s escaped from Hell in search of a new life on Earth, but Lucifer’s deadliest hunters are hot on her trail. Police Detective Eran Redmond is after her for a different reason: he needs Brynna to help him find a serial killer who is terrifying Chicago . . . and the trail leads them right to Hellspawned demons of the most dangerous kind. She’s also got a very human problem: dealing with a stubborn, attractive cop who makes her long for everything she knows she can’t have. Staying alive long enough to earn a shot at Heaven will mean breaking some major rules in the mortal world, as she learns just how complicated and wonderful being human can be. With so much stacked against her, even Brynna has to wonder if she’s crazy. But she’s not giving in without a fight. Not a chance in Hell...

A fallen angel in human form, Brynna is trying to earn another chance at heaven. So far, her road to redemption is littered with casualties, especially since Lucifer’s minions are intent on dragging her back to hell. And being mortal only got more complicated since Brynna became involved with Detective Eran Redmond. Still, Brynna’s relationship issues - like the fact that one glimpse of her can drive men crazy with desire - may have to wait. A mysterious "hero" is saving Chicago’s citizens from certain death, with strange and sinister consequences. Brynna knows too much about demonkind to believe in coincidences. Some dark force is at work here, and Brynna may be the only one who can stop it...
