He's now a legendary slayer killer, and he's returning to London--the greatest city in the world. Unfortunately, his new abode is far from ideal (a dank basement), and the rest of his strange little \"family\" is reeling from the fact that their patriarch, Angellus, abandoned them. Spike's love, Drusilla, seems especially heartbroken and spends her time lost in her tarot cards and planning their next gruesome family dinner when they all can be reunited. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDesperate to break Dru out of her melancholy, Spike vows to steal a powerful relic that will help her focus on their dark future together.
